How IP Is Enforced in Ghana

Ghana’s intellectual property legal framework is shaped by:
- The Copyright Act, 2005 (Act 690)
- The Patents Act, 2003 (Act 657)
- The Trademarks Act, 2004 (Act 664) and the Trademarks Amendment Act 2014 (Act876)
- The Industrial Designs Act, 2003 (Act 660)
- PLANT VARIETY PROTECTION ACT, 2020 (Act 1050)
- Protection Against Unfair Competition Act, 2000 (No. 859).
Our judicial system has shown strong support for rights holders, particularly where ownership and infringement are clearly established.
