Trademark Registration in Afghanistan: Common Questions

Learn how trademark registration in Afghanistan works, from preparing the documents and choosing classes to examination, publication and renewal.

Expand iconCollapse iconWhy and How Should I register a Trademark in Afghanistan?

In Afghanistan, trademark registration is mandatory to obtain legal rights, as the country follows a “first-to-file” system. Applications must be filed with the Afghanistan Central Business Registry or ACBR.
Unregistered marks receive little to no protection, so filing early helps secure your rights before competitors do.

Note: Trademarks for alcoholic beverages cannot be registered in Afghanistan.

If you register a combined trademark (word + logo), protection is limited to the specific configuration filed.
If you intend to use either element independently, consider filing separate applications to protect each component.

Expand iconCollapse iconHow Much Does it Cost to Register a Trademark in Afghanistan?

The cost to register a trademark in Afghanistan is US$ 1000 for the first class, plus US$ 1400 for each additional class.
This fee includes both the official government filing costs and iGERENT’s professional service fees.

To register a trademark in Afghanistan, you will generally need:

  • The name or logo you want to register
  • The applicant’s details

Your iGERENT consultant will confirm the exact requirements for your case and guide you through each step.

Expand iconCollapse iconHow Long Does it Take to Register a Trademark in Afghanistan?

The average registration process takes approximately 7 months for straightforward cases, based on current processing times at the Afghanistan Central Business Registry (ACBR). Timelines may vary depending on objections, oppositions, or document requirements.

Expand iconCollapse iconWhat Happens after the Trademark Registration Process in Afghanistan is Completed?

Once your application is approved, you will receive the official registration certificate.
From that moment, you hold exclusive rights to use the mark in Afghanistan for the goods or services listed in the registration.
iGERENT will deliver your certificate and store a digital copy for your records, and can also assist you with renewals and enforcement actions if infringement occurs.

Expand iconCollapse iconCan I Oppose Someone Else’s Trademark Application in Afghanistan?

Yes. Third parties may file oppositions within one (1) month following publication in the Official Gazette.
Additionally, post-registration oppositions may be filed within 12 months from the registration date.
The likelihood of success depends on the circumstances and supporting evidence.

Expand iconCollapse iconIs Trademark Use Required to Maintain Registration in Afghanistan?

No, a trademark does not need to be in use to register.
However, if it remains unused for three (3) consecutive years, it becomes vulnerable to cancellation actions based on non-use.
