On the other hand there is increase in intellectual property infringements and SMEs have not been spared world over. In any effort to protect innovators, governments have enacted laws and Zimbabwe has not been an exception. The Constitution has been used to derive the laws on property rights. Both empirical and theoretical literature review were done on studies done elsewhere and laws of Zimbabwe respectively. The findings from the literature review show that authorities in the world and Zimbabwean laws support innovation and SMEs are protected by the laws that are enacted. Resultantly, it is recommended that its laws must be aligned with the current trends to arrest changes in technology.
