After some uncertainty due to the covid-19 pandemic, the first
Angolan Intellectual Property Congress is now confirmed to take
place both physically and online on 23 and 24 April 2021. It will

development'.
With regard to trademarks, there will be debates on:

Development Community free-trade area; and
