industrie Industrial property is defined as all legal and administrative measures enabling the protection of technical creations (such as patents, drawings and models, configuration diagrams of integrated circuits) and distinctive signs (trade marks and labels of origin).
The State is responsible for protecting the nation’s creative assets and favour the contribution of external technologies by developing industrial property protection.
 
It is in this context that the Ministry for Industry and Investment Promotion, relying on
the INAPI, anticipates taking said “industrial property” action, which aims to contribute
towards innovation enhancement and promotion of its development.
 
The INAPI was created by the executive decree n°98-68 of 21 February 1998
