Mauritius Amends The Industrial Property Act 2019 To Give Domestic Effect To The Harare Protocol

Mauritius has enacted domestic legislation implementing its obligations under the Harare Protocol, following its accession to ARIPO effective 27 August 2025.

These amendments confirm that ARIPO rights designating Mauritius will automatically enjoy domestic protection equivalent to nationally granted rights.
