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.
