To file a trademark for protection in Burkina Faso (via OAPI), you must provide an original signed power of attorney document.
This power of attorney authorizes the local representative to act on your behalf before OAPI for all procedures related to the application and subsequent maintenance of the mark.
The average time to obtain a trademark registration covering Burkina Faso (through OAPI) is approximately 9 months.
This is an estimated timeframe for straightforward applications, based on current processing times. The actual duration may vary depending on:
Once your trademark has successfully proceeded to registration through OAPI, it will:
After this initial ten-year term, the registration can be renewed indefinitely for successive periods of ten years. If the renewal is not requested before the expiration date, there is still a grace period of six (6) months after expiry during which the registration can be renewed upon payment of late renewal fees.
If the trademark is not renewed within the grace period, the registration will lapse and protection will be lost, requiring a new application if you wish to regain rights.
Yes. Because Burkina Faso is protected via OAPI, any opposition against a conflicting application is handled at OAPI level.
Interested third parties may file opposition actions against a trademark application within six (6) months from the date of its publication in the Official Gazette of OAPI. During this period, owners of earlier rights may argue that the new application should be refused, for example due to confusing similarity with their prior mark.
The likelihood of success of an opposition will depend on the specific circumstances of the case, including similarity of the signs, overlap of goods and services, and distinctiveness of the earlier mark.
Although use is not required for a trademark to be registered through OAPI for Burkina Faso, post-registration use is crucial to maintain protection.
If the trademark is not used for more than five (5) years after registration, it becomes vulnerable to cancellation actions based on non-use. Importantly:
Therefore, genuine use of the trademark in at least one OAPI country, supported by evidence, can help you defend against non-use cancellation actions.
