Stimulating the strategic use of intellectual property by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as a way of incentivizing competitiveness and innovation Over 95 % of Mozambique’s industrial base is made up of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises. These enterprises have a reduced capacity for innovation and competitiveness. Given the forthcoming challenges of regional integration, it is vitally important for SMEs to be equipped with a capacity for innovation and competitiveness in order to tackle these. The strategic use of intellectual property represents a decisive tool for attaining this objective. Mozambican SMEs have already shown some signs of innovation. For example, almost all the industrial designs registered in the country come from this sector. Where other industrial property rights are concerned, however – including marks – foreign enterprises clearly predominate.
