Chad is a member of the African Intellectual Property Organization (OAPI). Trademarks in Chad are not registered or renewed nationally; instead, they are handled through OAPI's centralized system, which covers 17 member countries across West and Central Africa.
Properly navigating this regional system is essential to maintain trademark rights in Chad.
Trademarks registered under OAPI are valid for 10 years from the filing date. They are renewable every 10 years with no limit on the number of renewals.
The renewal period under OAPI is as follows:
To renew your trademark under the OAPI system, you need:
Renewals are officially published in the OAPI Bulletin, keeping your trademark rights enforceable.
Unlike some jurisdictions, restoration is not permitted under OAPI once the 6-month grace period ends. You will need to file a new application, subject to availability and risk of third-party filings.
Avoid these pitfalls:
You can still renew during the 6-month grace period, but you must pay a late renewal fee. After that, your trademark is no longer valid.
No. Restoration is not allowed. You must submit a new application, which may be subject to opposition or unavailability.
No. OAPI does not require use evidence for renewals.
You must update your records with OAPI. Failure to do so may cause communication failures and renewal issues.
