Protecting what matters — your ideas, brands, and innovations

Every business starts with something worth protecting: a name, an invention, a way of doing things that took real work to build. Stratedge Africa exists to help you protect it, wherever in Africa that work takes you. We've helped individual innovators and growing businesses protect their first trademark or invention. For international IP firms, we serve as reliable local counsel for filings across Kenya and the ARIPO region.

We're anchored in Kenya and the ARIPO network, which means one filing instruction can open the door to one of the broadest IP registration frameworks on the continent. Where a matter sits outside our direct reach, we bring in a carefully chosen local partner, so you're never left figuring out who to call next.

Today, that begins with intellectual property, and it shows in how we work: no jargon, no chasing for updates, just clear answers and steady progress on your matter.
