The publication provides a detailed record of industrial property rights, including patents, trademarks, designs, and other intellectual property matters submitted for registration. CIPA emphasizes that it is essential for all rights holders to review the listings in this edition to confirm that their intellectual property is not being infringed upon.

According to CIPA, individuals or organizations who identify potential conflicts or have grounds for objection to any of the advertised industrial property rights are entitled to lodge an opposition. Such submissions must be made directly with the Registrar’s office in accordance with the procedures outlined in the Industrial Property Act.
