Guinea was formerly a French colony and obtained its independence on October 2, 1958.

Sometimes also called Guinea-Conakry, it is principally an agricultural country.

The patents, designs and trademark laws in force in Guinea are, with minor amendments, the same as the French laws applicable immediately before independence. No new patent, trademark and design laws have as yet been promulgated.
