Frequently Asked Questions

Why and How Should I register a Trademark in Ivory Coast?

To obtain trademark protection and recognition in Ivory Coast (Côte d'Ivoire), the mark must necessarily be registered through OAPI – the Organisation Africaine de la Propriété Intellectuelle. See more here: OAPI trademark registration information.

A trademark registered with the African Intellectual Property Organization, officially called Organisation Africaine de la Propriété Intellectuelle OAPI, grants protection in all 17 OAPI member states through a single registration: 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 is also a member state of the Madrid Protocol, so it is possible to extend an international registration to OAPI via the Madrid System. We offer services for trademark filing through the Madrid System.

If you register a combined trademark (word + figurative elements) through OAPI, your exclusive rights are limited to using the mark in the exact configuration in which it was filed and registered. If you wish to use the word element apart from the logo (or vice versa), you should consider filing another trademark covering only those elements you want to protect separately.

By default, searches only cover verbal elements – searches for figurative/logo elements are not available in the standard service. If you want the figurative or design elements of your trademark to be considered in a Trademark Search Report for OAPI, please contact us directly, as fees and estimated delivery times may vary.

What Documents are Required for Trademark Registration in Ivory Coast?

To register a trademark in Ivory Coast (through OAPI), you must provide an original signed power of attorney document.

How Long Does it Take to Register a Trademark in Ivory Coast?

The average time frame to register a trademark in Ivory Coast (via OAPI) is around 9 months for straightforward cases. This is an estimated processing time based on current application timeframes and it may vary considerably.

What Happens after the Trademark Registration Process in Ivory Coast is Completed?

Once your trademark is registered through OAPI:

It has a validity of ten (10) years from the application date.
It can be renewed indefinitely for further periods of ten (10) years.

Renewal:

Can be requested during the six (6) months after expiration, which is the grace period, upon payment of a late renewal fee.

Use is not required for registration, but if the trademark is not used for more than five (5) years after registration, it becomes vulnerable to cancellation for non-use. To avoid this, it is enough that the mark is used in any one of the OAPI member states, not necessarily in Ivory Coast alone.

Can I Oppose Someone Else’s Trademark Application in Ivory Coast?

Yes. Interested third parties can file opposition actions against a trademark application in OAPI:

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

If a third party attempts to register or use a trademark for similar goods or services that includes a primary or distinct part of your trademark, you have the right to oppose the application based on confusing similarity. The probability of success will depend on the circumstances of each case.

Is Trademark Use Required to Maintain Registration in Ivory Coast?

A trademark does not have to be in use in order to be registered through OAPI.

However, after registration:

If the mark is not used for more than five (5) years, it becomes vulnerable to cancellation actions based on lack of use.
To prevent this, use of the mark in any OAPI member state is sufficient; it does not have to be limited to Ivory Coast.
