Congo is one of the most developed countries on the African continent, due to which the country often registers foreign trademarks and permits the activity of foreign entrepreneurs in its own territory.
Our specialists fully ensure the process of collecting and preparing documentation, which means that the client only needs to wait for the results of the application consideration.
There is no specific regulation in the country to control new and existing trademarks, but Congo is a party to the OAPI registration system, which includes another 15 African French-speaking states.
This expert commission is engaged in verifying applications and searching for similar logos during registration of trademarks.
OAPI is the regional system, and if the counterparty submits application according to this procedure, he can register trademark in all other countries participating in the agreement without additional filing of documents.
In addition to the foregoing method of registration, standard national registration system is also in force, and after undergoing the above procedure trademark will have legal force and possibility of having effect only in the territory of Congo.
The grant of permission to the client is also made by our lawyer. After obtaining trademark in Congo, it is necessary to start using the brand.
If the trademark is not applied by the owner within 5 years, it is deprived of legal force.
