Protecting Intellectual Property
Last published date:

In any foreign market, companies should consider several general principles for effective protection of their intellectual property.

The Bureau Malien du Droit d’Auteurs (BUMDA) and the Centre Malien de Promotion et de la Propriété Intellectuelle (CEMAPI), which are associated with the Ministries of Handicraft, Culture, Hospitality Industry, and Tourism and Industry and Commerce, oversee intellectual property issues in Mali.
