End-to-End Trademark Registration in Comoros

To obtain trademark protection and recognition in Comoros, your trademark must be registered through OAPI, the African Intellectual Property Organization. This is done via a single regional application that covers all OAPI member states, including Comoros. You can find more details on our page about OAPI trademark registration.

A trademark registered with the Organisation Africaine de la Propriété Intellectuelle OAPI grants protection in all seventeen (17) member countries, such as Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Comoros and others.

OAPI is also a member state of the Madrid Protocol. This means that an international registration can be extended to Comoros via the Madrid System. We offer services for trademark filing through the Madrid System.

If you register a combined trademark (with both word and figurative elements) through OAPI, your exclusive right is limited to the exact configuration in which the mark has been filed and registered. If you wish to protect the word element and logo separately, it is advisable to file additional applications for each element.

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

• Original Power of Attorney, signed. No notarization or legalization required.
• 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 to register a trademark in Comoros takes around 9 months.

This is an estimated timeframe for straightforward cases, based on current processing times for applications, and it may vary considerably depending on the circumstances.

Once a trademark is registered with OAPI (covering Comoros), it is valid for 10 years from the application date. It can be renewed indefinitely for additional periods of ten (10) years.

If the mark is not renewed by its expiration date, there is a six (6) month grace period to file a late renewal. Renewal during this period is still possible upon payment of a late renewal fee.

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

Opposition actions may be filed by interested third parties within six (6) months from the date the application is published in the Official Gazette. The likelihood of success will depend on the facts of each case.

A trademark does not need to be in use in order to be registered through OAPI. However, if the trademark is not used for more than five (5) consecutive years after registration, it becomes vulnerable to cancellation actions based on lack of use.

To avoid this risk, use of the mark in any of the OAPI member states (not only in Comoros) is sufficient to maintain protection.
