European Patent Office President thanked the Director-Generals – Mr Bemanya Twebaze of ARIPO, Ms Ana Paula Miguel of the Angolan Institute of Industrial Property (IAPA) and Mr Ermias Hailemariam of the Ethiopian Intellectual Property Office (EIPO) – for their commitment to co-operation that delivers tangible results. “Promoting patent knowledge and the use of the patent system fosters the creation of domestic patent rights, leading to the protection and commercialisation of local innovation that stimulates economic growth throughout the region”, said Mr Campinos.
