Our Story
Fifteen years ago, in January 2010 BMatanga IP Attorneys was founded by Miss Brenda Matanga with a single mission in mind, to safeguard the ideas, brands, and creations that shape industries and transform lives.
Miss BMatanga is a trailblazer who dared to launch an IP specialist firm at the dawn of her career. She understood that intellectual property is more than just law; it is the bedrock of great brands, the driving force behind innovation, and the key to long-term success. With this understanding she established a specialist firm to take care of the legal needs of these companies, individuals, and institutions who are holders of intellectual property rights with business interests in the African region, who require having their commercial transactions taken care of, their intellectual property registered, managed, protected and or otherwise enforced. No one was looking out for the legal needs of this special breed of clients specifically, too many creators, entrepreneurs and inventors in the African region have been in need of legal guidance to safeguard their genius so she decided to build a firm that dedicated itself to the provision of this specialised service.
As the firm evolved, more individuals joined the mission, each contributing their expertise and passion for protecting and empowering innovators. What started as one person’s vision has grown into a collective effort of like-minded individuals each bringing their passion and talents to the table. As the practice expanded, we embraced the value of teamwork, recognizing that the intersection of intellectual property with other areas of law required a collaborative approach. This has allowed us to provide comprehensive legal solutions that support our clients at every stage of their journey. We’ve grown from a bold vision into a beacon of trust and expertise. Our journey mirrors the rise of Africa’s innovators: bold, resilient, and unstoppable. Together, we ensure that our clients’ intellectual property is not only protected but strategically leveraged to fuel their growth.
At BMatanga IP Attorneys, we do more than safeguard ideas, we empower visionaries. Whether it’s securing a trademark, registering a patent, or navigating complex legal landscapes, we work relentlessly in our pursuit of ensuring our clients’ rights are preserved and positioned for success.
