History of LIPO

The Liberia Intellectual Property Office is an embodiment of the erstwhile Liberia Industrial Property and the Liberia Copyright Offices. From a legislative enactment on June 14, 2016, a repeal of the 2003 Industrial Property Act and the 1997 Copyright Act was done and replaced with a new Title 24, called Intellectual Property Act.
