    A cooperation deal between LIPO and the Liberia National Police will provide specialized training and joint operations to curb infringement and strengthen rule of law.

    The Liberia Intellectual Property Office (LIPO) is finalizing a landmark cooperation agreement with the Liberia National Police (LNP) to strengthen the protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights (IPRs) across the country.

    The agreement, which is in its concluding stages, will establish a framework for collaboration between the two institutions in tackling intellectual property (IP) violations. A central feature of the partnership will be capacity building, including the training of police officers on IP laws, investigative techniques, and enforcement mechanisms. The initiative also aims to roll out joint operations to combat infringement, piracy, and counterfeiting, which continue to undermine innovation, creativity, and fair business practices in Liberia.

    LIPO officials emphasized that the partnership will help protect the rights of creators, innovators, and entrepreneurs, ensuring that their contributions are respected and rewarded. “This collaboration is not just about enforcement; it is about empowering law enforcement officers with the knowledge and tools they need to protect Liberia’s creative and business communities,” a LIPO representative noted.

    The LNP, for its part, welcomed the cooperation as timely and necessary, given the increasing sophistication of IP-related crimes. Officials believe the agreement will enhance public confidence in the rule of law and create a more enabling environment for investment and innovation.

    Once signed, the agreement will mark a significant step in aligning Liberia’s IP enforcement with global standards while addressing the local realities of infringement and illicit trade.
