Do-It-Yourself Trademark Filing in Djibouti

  • You have to draft a compliant cautionary notice on your own: wording mistakes can make it unclear, incomplete, or harder to enforce.
  • You must identify the right publication channel locally and coordinate everything.
  • You are responsible for securing publication proof and organizing evidence, which can be critical if you need to act against unauthorized use later.
  • What looks simple can become costly: re-doing the notice, re-publishing, translations, local coordination, and back-and-forth can quickly increase the real cost.

Why and How Should I register a Trademark in Djibouti?

Formal registration of a trademark in Djibouti is not possible. Protection of a trademark in Djibouti is done by publishing ownership of the trademark in a local newspaper via a cautionary notice.

Trademark applications must be filed with the Office of Industrial Property and Commerce or ODPIC.

If you register a combined trademark (including both word and figurative elements), your exclusive rights are limited to the exact configuration in which the mark was filed and registered. If you want to use the word element separately from the logo (or vice versa), you should file a separate application for the specific elements you wish to protect individually.

It is not necessary for a trademark to be in use in Djibouti at the time of filing or registration.

What Documents are Required for Trademark Registration in Djibouti?

This document authorizes a representative to act on your behalf before ODPIC.

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

Once registered, a trademark in Djibouti is valid for ten (10) years from the application date.

It can be renewed indefinitely for additional periods of ten (10) years. The renewal request can be filed during the six (6) months preceding the expiration date.

Although use is not required to obtain registration, if the trademark is not used for more than five years after registration, it becomes vulnerable to cancellation actions based on non-use.

Is Trademark Use Required to Maintain Registration in Djibouti?

A trademark does not need to be in use in Djibouti in order to be registered.

However, after registration, if the mark goes unused for more than five (5) years, it becomes vulnerable to cancellation actions based on lack of use. Maintaining genuine use of the mark within this period is therefore important to preserve your rights.
