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

In Angola, trademark registration is mandatory to be granted rights over a trademark, as it is a "first to file" jurisdiction. Only in some exceptional cases can an unregistered trademark be protected.

Trademark applications must be filed with the **Angolan Institute of Industrial Property (IAPI).

If you register a combined trademark (which includes both word and figurative elements) in Angola, the exclusive right to use the trademark is limited to the exact configuration in which it was filed and registered. If you want to use the word element separately from the logo (or vice versa), it is recommended to file another trademark including only the word or figurative elements you wish to use and protect separately.

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

  • Original Power of Attorney, signed, notarized, and legalized before the Consulate of Angola.
  • 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.

The average application process takes 36 months. This is an estimated timeframe for straightforward cases based on current processing times and may vary considerably.

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

Once the application is successfully registered, a final registration fee must be paid (per class), which is only due in case of successful registration.

Registered trademarks in Angola are valid for 10 years from the application date and can be renewed indefinitely for further periods of ten (10) years. The trademark renewal can be requested during a grace period of four (4) months after expiration, upon payment of a late renewal fee.

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

Yes. If a third party intends to register or use a trademark for similar goods or services that includes a primary or distinct part of your trademark, you have the right to oppose the application based on confusing similarity.

Opposition actions may be filed by interested third parties against a trademark application within a period of two (2) months following its publication in the trademarks journal. The probabilities of success for an opposition will vary in each case depending on the circumstances.

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

Although a trademark does not have to be in use in order to register, it must be used after registration or it will become vulnerable to cancellation actions based on lack of use of the trademark.
