Benin is a member of the African Intellectual Property Organization (OAPI) All trademark registrations in OAPI countries, including Benin, are managed centrally through the OAPI system. This means it is not possible to file or renew a national trademark in Benin—everything is handled through OAPI.
Understanding the centralized OAPI renewal process is essential to maintain your trademark protection across Benin and other OAPI member states.
A trademark registered via OAPI is valid for 10 years from the filing date. It can be renewed indefinitely in 10-year terms.
Trademark renewals through OAPI require:
No use or specimen evidence is required for renewals. OAPI publishes all renewals in its official journal.
Avoid these issues:
You can still renew within a 6-month grace period, but you must pay an extra fee. Beyond this, the trademark lapses permanently.
No. Once lapsed due to non-renewal, the trademark cannot be reinstated. You must file a new application, subject to availability.
No. OAPI does not require evidence of use for trademark renewal.
You must update your records with OAPI. This includes changes in business name, address, or legal representation.
