Ivory Coast is a full member of the African Intellectual Property Organization (OAPI). Trademarks are registered and renewed exclusively through OAPI, which serves as the centralized IP authority for 17 member states.
National trademark filings or renewals are not allowed; everything must go through OAPI's centralized process.
Trademarks registered under OAPI are valid for 10 years from the date of filing. They are renewable every 10 years indefinitely.
The OAPI timeline for renewal is:
To renew a trademark via OAPI, submit:
Renewals are officially published in the OAPI Official Bulletin.
No. OAPI does not allow restoration after the 6-month grace period. You must file a new trademark application, and there is no protection in the interim.
Avoid these missteps:
You have a 6-month grace period to renew with a surcharge. After that, the trademark lapses and must be refiled.
No. Restoration is not permitted under OAPI rules.
No. Proof of use is not required for trademark renewal in Ivory Coast or any OAPI country.
You must immediately update your details with OAPI to ensure accurate records.
