Zambia: trademark registration

There are three types of procedures for filing applications for registration of trademark, as well as two different systems for their consideration in the entire African continent. A lot of local companies use national procedure, and it gives the right to register trademark in only one country in the continent, but imposes low requirements on the applicants.

Trademarks in Zambia for non-residents are more often registered according to regional or international procedure. The first one involves submitting application to the APIRO or OAPI/AOPI commissions.

When verifying entrepreneur, representatives of Zambia pay attention to the following:

  • Package of documents and correctness of its compilation;

  • Type of activity of the company;

  • Material welfare of business or natural person.

Zambia is one of the few countries in Africa that is party to the Madrid Agreement, that is, it is possible to obtain trademark there according to international procedure. Submission of application to WIPO gives the right to establish business in 97 countries at once, including Zambia itself.

It is possible to receive consultation from our lawyers about the type of procedure that will be more beneficial for you. Professionals are aware of the nuances of all jurisdictions, so they will save your time in searching for the relevant one.
