The acquisition and disposition of property rights, including
intellectual property, is covered by the Ivorian Civil Code.
Côte d'Ivoire is a party to the Paris Convention, its 1958
revision, and the 1977 Bangui Agreement grouping thirteen Francophone African
countries in the African Intellectual Property Organization (OAPI). In OAPI,
rights registered in one member country are valid in all. Patent validity is ten
years, with two five year extensions possible. Trademarks are valid for ten
years and are renewable indefinitely. Literary copyrights are protected for
fifty years following the author's death (or posthumous publication). Other
intellectual property rights are valid for five years with various renewal
periods; we are not, however, aware of domestic legislation specifically
covering semiconductor chip layout design.
In February 1999, the member states of OAPI, now expanded to
15 countries, adopted revisions to the Bangui Accords to
bring them into conformity with the World Trade Organziation's agreement on
trade-related intellectual property issues (the TRIPS
agreement). Cote d'Ivoire has approved these revisions in its Council of
Ministers and will submit the Accords to the National Assembly for ratification
by the end of 1999. Cote d'Ivoire has committed in the WTO to be conformity with
the TRIPS agreement by January 1, 2000. Under TRIPS, Cote d'Ivoire's
intellectual property regime will be strengthened.
Though in theory prohibited, counterfeit clothing, textiles,
footwear, watches, computer software and audio and video tapes can be found,
particularly among street vendors.
In January 1999, the Ivoirian Government established a new
Office of Intellectual Property within the Ministry of Small and Medium
Enterprises and Industrial Development. The new office will prepare Cote
d'Ivoire for the entry into force of TRIPS, serve as a liaison with OAPI and
work to sensitize public opinion to intellectual property issues. In order to
protect their trademarks and patents, American firms must take into account the
above regulations and apply to the OAPI.
