The State Intellectual Property Office and the Angolan Institute of Industrial Property signed a memorandum of understanding last month in Beijing "laying the foundation for cooperation in the intellectual property field", said SIPO officials.

The agreement came during a visit by an Angolan delegation headed by the institute's Director General Barros Bebiano Licenca.

SIPO Commissioner Tian Lipu said his team is willing to share its experience and deepen cooperation with Angola for mutually beneficial development.

Angola will learn from China in patent examination, training and IP enforcement, Licenca said.
