About IPIN
Intellectual property should be understood, protected and put to work.
The Intellectual Property Institute Nigeria (IPIN) is dedicated to building intellectual property knowledge, practice and capacity in Nigeria.
We make intellectual property and its related disciplines easier to understand and more comprehensible to the people and institutions that create, manage, protect and use it.
Our work brings together professional training, research, public education, policy engagement and practical support across the creative industries, technology, business, academia, the legal profession and policymakers.
We help the creator protecting an original work, the business building value around a brand, the innovator seeking to protect an invention, and the user who wishes to enjoy the work make better decisions about what they use, create, develop and own.
