Frequently Asked Questions

Why and How Should I register a Trademark in Gabon?

To obtain trademark protection in Gabon, your mark must be registered through OAPI – the African Intellectual Property Organization OAPI. A single OAPI trademark registration grants protection in all 17 member states, including Gabon, namely: Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Comoros, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Ivory Coast (Côte d'Ivoire), Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Senegal and Togo.

OAPI operates on a registration-based (first-to-file) system, meaning that, in practice, rights are acquired through filing and registration rather than through mere use. If you file a combined trademark (word + logo) through OAPI for protection in Gabon, your exclusive rights are limited to that exact configuration as filed. If you want to protect the word element and the figurative element separately, you should file additional applications for each element.

OAPI is also a member state of the Madrid Protocol Madrid Member States, so you can extend an existing International Registration to OAPI (and thereby to Gabon) via the Madrid System. See our related services: /madrid-system-trademark-registration.

What Documents are Required for Trademark Registration in Gabon?

To register a trademark in Gabon (via OAPI), you will need an original signed power of attorney document authorizing the local representative to act on your behalf. Additional formalities may apply depending on specific cases.

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

The average time to register a trademark covering Gabon through OAPI is about 9 months for straightforward cases. This is an estimate based on current processing times and may vary depending on:

Objections raised by the office, or
Oppositions or other actions filed by third parties after publication.

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

Once the application is accepted and registered through OAPI:

The trademark is valid for 10 years from the application date.
It can be renewed indefinitely for additional periods of 10 years.
The renewal request can be filed during the 6-month grace period after expiration, subject to payment of late renewal fees.

Registration via OAPI gives you a single title that is effective in Gabon and all other OAPI member states, simplifying management of your rights across the region.

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

Yes. Any interested third party may file an opposition against an OAPI trademark application (including those covering Gabon):

Oppositions can be filed within six (6) months following the publication of the application in the Official Gazette of OAPI.

The chances of success in opposition proceedings depend on various factors, including similarity of the marks, overlap of goods/services, and strength and prior use of the earlier rights.

Is Trademark Use Required to Maintain Registration in Gabon?

Use of the trademark is not required in order to obtain registration covering Gabon through OAPI; however, if the mark is not used for an uninterrupted period of five (5) years after registration, it becomes vulnerable to cancellation for non-use, and in order to maintain the registration, the use that counts as genuine may take place in any of the OAPI member states, provided it is real commercial use.
