Equatorial Guinea is a member of the African Intellectual Property Organization (OAPI). This means all trademark registrations, renewals, and cancellations are handled centrally through OAPI. National trademark renewals are not permitted in Equatorial Guinea.
Understanding the OAPI renewal framework is key to maintaining your trademark rights in Equatorial Guinea and across the 17-member OAPI
A trademark registered through OAPI is valid for 10 years from the date of filing. It is renewable indefinitely for additional 10-year terms.
The OAPI trademark renewal timeline is:
To renew your trademark under OAPI, you must provide:
Renewals are published in the OAPI Official Bulletin, confirming continued protection.
Trademarks that are not renewed within the grace period are considered lapsed. OAPI does not allow restoration: a new application must be submitted, and there no guarantee of approval if someone else registers the mark.
Avoid these issues:
You can renew during the 6-month grace period by paying a late fee. After this, your trademark is cancelled permanently.
No. OAPI does not allow restoration. You must file a new trademark application.
No. Trademark renewal under OAPI does not require proof of use.
You must inform OAPI. Failure to do so may prevent you from receiving critical notifications and could complicate renewal.
