Frequently Asked Questions

Why and How Should I register a Trademark in Equatorial Guinea?

To obtain trademark protection in Equatorial Guinea, the mark must be registered through OAPI (Organisation Africaine de la Propriété Intellectuelle). There is no separate national registration; one OAPI trademark grants protection in all 17 member states, including Equatorial Guinea.

A trademark filed and registered with OAPI protects you not only in Equatorial Guinea, but also in: Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Comoros, Republic of the Congo, Gabon, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Ivory Coast, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Senegal and Togo.

If you file a combined trademark (word + logo) via OAPI, your exclusive rights are limited to the exact configuration registered. To protect the word and the logo separately, it is advisable to file separate applications for each element.

How Long Does it Take to Register a Trademark in Equatorial Guinea?

The average time to register a trademark designating Equatorial Guinea via OAPI is about 9 months for straightforward cases.

What Happens after the Trademark Registration Process in Equatorial Guinea is Completed?

Once registered through OAPI (including Equatorial Guinea):

  • The trademark is valid for ten (10) years from the application date.
  • It can be renewed indefinitely, in further periods of ten (10) years.
  • Renewal can be requested during a grace period of six (6) months after expiration, subject to a late renewal fee.

After successful registration and fee payment, your trademark is enforceable in all OAPI member states, including Equatorial Guinea.

Can I Oppose Someone Else’s Trademark Application in Equatorial Guinea?

Yes. Since protection is obtained via OAPI, oppositions are handled at the OAPI level, not locally in Equatorial Guinea.

  • Third parties may file opposition actions within six (6) months following the publication of the application in the OAPI Official Gazette.
  • The chances of success depend on the similarity between the marks, the goods/services, and the specific facts of the case.

If a later application includes a main or distinctive element of your earlier mark for similar goods or services, you may oppose it based on likelihood of confusion.

Is Trademark Use Required to Maintain Registration in Equatorial Guinea?

Use is not required for registration through OAPI. However, after registration:

  • If the mark is not used for more than five (5) years in any of the OAPI member states, it becomes vulnerable to cancellation for non-use.
  • To avoid cancellation, it is enough to show genuine use in at least one OAPI country, which can include Equatorial Guinea or any other member state.
