In East Timor, there is currently no trademark registration system or intellectual property regulation. Because of this, it is not possible to obtain protection through a normal trademark registry as in other countries.
The only way to obtain some degree of protection is by publishing a cautionary notice in local newspapers, in which you:
- Claim ownership of the trademark, and
- Declare the use of that trademark.
The fees indicated for East Timor correspond specifically to the publication of this cautionary notice.
We do not offer trademark search services for East Timor, and there is no database of prior trademarks.
Also, trademarks registered in Indonesia do not grant protection in East Timor.
