Trademark protection in South Africa is governed by the Trade Marks Act No. 194 of 1993, administered by the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC). South Africa is not part of the Madrid Protocol, so all renewals must be filed directly with the CIPC.
A trademark in South Africa is valid for 10 years from the application date and can be renewed indefinitely in further 10-year terms.
Avoid:
You have 6 months after expiration to renew with a late renewal fee. After that, restoration is possible upon application and Registrar approval.
Yes, but only if the delay was unintentional, and your application is accepted by the Registrar.
No. Use is not required to maintain or renew a trademark in South Africa.
Submit updated details to the CIPC using the prescribed forms.
We handle all filings, monitor your deadlines, and manage restoration requests with the CIPC: keeping your brand protected without hassle.
