Brenda Matanga sent
Afro-IP a message today to re-assure the IP community and investors that Zimbabwe
remains open for business.
“Its business as usual” she
exclaimed as she updated on the Zimbabwe Institute of Patent
& Trade Mark Agents' talk this afternoon on the procedure for trade
mark oppositions at ARIPO. She described the attendance as being a "full
house of IP practitioners" including the Deputy Chief Registrar who made a
presentation.
"We are good. ... Zimbabweans just calmly getting along as if nothing is happening. Just playing it by the ear too… but we are working."
Earlier today, @DarrenTOlivier tweeted
"I am reliably told by the effervescent receptionist at @ARIPO that it's business as usual at
their offices and at Zimbabwe Intellectual Property Office (ZIPO) based in
Harare. Basically, if you want to invest in Zim, they will help you!"
