Frequently Asked Questions

Why and How Should I register a Trademark in Botswana?

To obtain effective protection for your brand in Botswana, your trademark must be registered. Without registration, enforcing your rights and stopping infringement is much more complicated and uncertain.

You can protect a trademark in Botswana in two ways:

  • By filing a local trademark application before the Ministry of Trade and Industry, also known as MTI, or
  • By filing through the African Regional Industrial Property Organization (ARIPO), under the Banjul Protocol, which allows you to protect your trademark in Botswana and several other African countries through a single regional filing.

If you register a combined trademark (word + logo), the exclusive right is limited to the exact configuration as filed. If you plan to use the word element and logo separately, it is advisable to file separate applications for each distinctive element.

What Happens after the Trademark Registration Process in Botswana is Completed?

Once registered through the local trademarks office, a Botswana trademark has:

  • A validity period of ten (10) years from the application date.

The registration can then be:

  • Renewed indefinitely in successive 10-year periods.

You may request renewal:

  • Within six (6) months before the expiry date.

If your trademark has already expired, a grace period for late renewal may still be available upon payment of a fine, but this is subject to the local authority’s criteria.

Can I Oppose Someone Else’s Trademark Application in Botswana?

Yes. If a third party attempts to register a trademark that includes elements that could be considered similar to your registered mark in connection with similar goods or services, you have the right to oppose the application on the grounds of confusing similarity.

The likelihood of success will always depend on the facts of the case, including the degree of similarity between the marks and the overlap between the goods or services.
