On March 31st, 2016, the new Industrial Property Code will come into force in Mozambique, approved by this country's Council of Ministers on 31st December 2015 (decree No.47/2015), which will revoke the previous Code, of 2006.

The main changes, which are set below, have to do mostly with the amendment of deadlines, of administrative and formatting issues, as well as with the clarification of certain sections, and there have not been many legal changes.

On a general level and applicable to all the administrative procedures, new deadlines must be pointed out: 30 days, instead of the previous 15, to submit pending documents (for example, powers of attorney); 30 days, but in this case replacing the previous 60 days, for filing appeals.
