INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY STUDIES

Closing 10th September 2026

Young people in Lesotho are invited to pursue studies in Intellectual Property (IP) in order to help them understand how to protect, manage, and benefit from their ideas, inventions, creative works, and brands. According to the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), IP enables creators and innovators to turn their ideas into valuable assets that generate economic and social benefits.

Interested individuals are requested to contact the person indicated above on or before 10 September.

We would greatly appreciate your support in spreading this opportunity by sharing the attached poster with your networks, groups, and communities.

Let us work together to inspire more young people to learn about and engage with Intellectual Property.

Thank you for your valuable support and cooperation.

Happy International Literacy Day
