Angola: Design

Industrial designs in Angola cover the visible features of a product’s appearance. The Angolan Institute of Industrial Property is responsible for examining and granting these rights.

Design protection is granted for an initial term of 5 years, which can be renewed every year for up to a total of 15 years. Applicants must submit accurate representations of the design alongside relevant details.

Once registered, the owner gains the exclusive right to prevent unauthorized use of that design in Angola.
