Frequently Asked Questions

Why and How Should I register a Trademark in Ethiopia?

Trademark protection in Ethiopia is obtained by filing an application with the Ethiopian Intellectual Property Office (EIPO). Registration is strongly recommended because it:

Confirms your exclusive rights over the sign for the goods/services claimed.
Provides a clear basis to act against infringers and conflicting later filings.
Puts your trademark on the official register and in the trademarks journal, making your rights visible to third parties.

To register, a local representative files a trademark application with EIPO, indicating the owner’s details, the mark (word/logo/combined) and the list of goods/services (note that the standard price covers up to 10 items per class; additional items may incur extra costs). The Office examines the application, publishes it for opposition, and, if no serious objections arise, proceeds to registration and issues the certificate.

If you register a combined trademark (word + logo), your exclusive right is limited to that exact configuration. If you wish to use and protect the word element and the logo independently, it is advisable to file separate applications (one word mark and one figurative mark).

How Much Does it Cost to Register a Trademark in Ethiopia?

The cost to register a trademark in Ethiopia is US$ 950 for the first class, plus US$ 350 for each additional class. This fee includes both the official government filing costs and iGERENT’s professional service fees.

What Documents are Required for Trademark Registration in Ethiopia?

To register a trademark in Ethiopia, you must provide an original power of attorney, signed by the owner, notarized and legalized before the Consulate of Ethiopia.

This document authorizes the local representative to act on your behalf before EIPO.

How Long Does it Take to Register a Trademark in Ethiopia?

The average time for a straightforward application to proceed to registration in Ethiopia is around 6 months.

This is an estimated timeframe based on current practice and may vary depending on examination workload, objections, or oppositions.

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

Once your trademark is registered in Ethiopia:

It is valid for seven (7) years from the application date.
It can be renewed indefinitely, in successive 7-year periods.

As long as renewals are filed on time, your registration can remain in force without limit.

Can I Oppose Someone Else’s Trademark Application in Ethiopia?

Yes.

Interested third parties may file opposition actions against a trademark application within 60 days following its publication in the trademarks journal.

The chances of success will depend on factors such as:

The similarity between the marks.
The similarity of the goods/services.
The overall risk of confusion and the specific facts of the case.

Is Trademark Use Required to Maintain Registration in Ethiopia?

Yes, for maintaining the registration:

A trademark does not need to be in use in order to be filed or registered.
However, if a registered trademark is not used for more than three (3) years after registration, it becomes vulnerable to cancellation actions based on non-use.

To keep the registration safe, the mark should be used on a commercial scale in connection with the goods/services registered.
