The Botswana Companies and Intellectual Property Authority (CIPA) moved to a new location on September 28, 2018, and became fully operational on October 29, 2018.

A notice was circulated by CIPA on September 24, 2018, advising users of the relocation and requesting that they use CIPA’s “outstations” located in Francistown, Serowe, and Muan during this period.
