The Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC), a non-profit organization, has been involved for the past decade with the
deployment and integration of appropriate networking technology in
Morocco.
Note that some of the posted information is old, perhaps even historic by now. But it has been archived here to help document
the evolution of the global infrastructure - when the first points of connectivity were established, and subsequent developments
leading up to the current state of the network within a particular country or region. |

Morocco has a non-discriminatory legal system that is
accessible to foreign investors. The commercial courts, established in 1998,
have begun to mitigate the weakness in commercial proceedings. A system of
commercial arbitration was also created in April 1998.
Morocco has a relatively complete regulatory and legislative
system for the protection of intellectual property and is largely in compliance
with its TRIPS obligations. It is a member of the World Intellectual Property
Organization (WIPO) and is a party to the Bern Copyright, Paris Industrial
Property, and Universal Copyright Conventions; the Brussels Satellite
Convention; and the Madrid, Nice, and Hague Agreements for the Protection of
Intellectual Property.
While Moroccan laws are generally adequate, enforcement is
sometimes lacking. Counterfeiting of clothing, luggage, and other consumer
goods, as well as the illegal copying of computer software, is common.
Secured interests in property are recognized and enforced
through the "Administration de la Conservation Fonciere." The GOM has
recently passed a law permitting the development of a secondary mortgage market.
