Our domestic economy can be more productive, can be innovative and competitive. Mozambican
products and services can acquire added value through the introduction and strategic use of the
intellectual property system. Intellectual property can be used by those in the Mozambican
economic world if the following strategic goals have been achieved:
6.4.1. Promoting the strategic use of intellectual property by economic agents
There is a need to instill an intellectual property culture in our entrepreneurs and all the relevant
sectors. The accumulation of intangible property will enable entrepreneurs to make the products
of their innovative efforts available, circulate them and market them in all security.
The strategic use of intellectual property in the domestic economy may become a reality if the
following strategic actions are carried out:
• Develop concrete training on the mechanisms for creating, acquiring, managing, marketing
and safeguarding intellectual property rights;
• Create incentives for potential users of the system to encourage the strategic use of
intellectual property in developing enterprises;
• Technical assistance for enterprises in setting up internal structures for innovation and for
the acquisition, safeguarding and management of the intellectual property rights they have
generated.
• Set up appropriate public institutions, structures and mechanisms to support entrepreneurs in
the acquisition, management, protection and marketing of intellectual property rights.
6.4.2. Adding value to domestic production
Failure to make strategic use of intellectual property hampers the creation of incentives for
potentially innovating enterprises. These enterprises therefore do not have the capacity for
innovation.
