Cameroon is a member of the African Intellectual Property Organization (OAPI). As a result, it does not handle trademark registrations or renewals at the national level. All trademarks are filed, maintained, and renewed through OAPI, which manages a centralized system for 17 West and Central African countries.
Renewing your trademark under OAPI is essential for maintaining protection in Cameroon and all member states.
Trademarks registered through OAPI are valid for 10 years from the filing date. They are renewable indefinitely in 10-year increments.
Trademark owners must follow this timeline:
To renew your trademark under OAPI, you need:
Renewals are officially published, maintaining visibility and enforcement rights.
Yes, if non-renewal was due to circumstances beyond the owner control, a restoration application may be submitted within 2 years from the original renewal deadline. Approval is at OAPI discretion and must be substantiated.
Avoid these missteps:
You have a 6-month grace period to renew with a surcharge. If you miss that, you may still file for restoration within 2 years, provided you can justify the delay.
Yes, but only under exceptional circumstances, and the request must be made within 2 years from the missed deadline.
No. OAPI does not require proof of use to renew a trademark.
You must update OAPI records immediately to avoid communication issues and delays in renewal processing.
