Frequently Asked Questions

Why and How Should I register a Trademark in Maldives?

In the Maldives, trademark rights arise from use: the person or company that uses the mark in this territory is the one who acquires the rights over it.

Even so, it is strongly recommended to publish a cautionary notice in local newspapers stating that you claim ownership of the trademark. This publication serves to:

  • Make your claim to the mark public and visible in the country.
  • Help reinforce your position as the owner in case of conflict with third parties.

There is no standard trademark registration system for foreign owners. However, official trademark registration is possible for companies that are registered in the Maldives, and this is handled by the Intellectual Property Unit of the Ministry of Economic Development. If you have a Maldivian-registered company and wish to register your trademark officially, you would work through that office.

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

The process associated with publishing a cautionary notice – which is the practical way to protect a trademark for most owners – usually takes around 1 month. This is an estimated timeframe for straightforward cases and can vary depending on local publication and administrative timings.

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

Once your cautionary notice has been published, you have:

  • A public declaration in the Maldives that you claim ownership of the trademark.
  • A practical tool to support your rights based on use of the mark in the country.

There is no statutory renewal system for trademarks. However, it is advisable to re-publish the cautionary notice every year, so that your claim remains current and visible in the local market.

For companies that are registered in the Maldives and obtain an official registration through the Intellectual Property Unit, the text only indicates that this route exists, without giving further details on what happens after registration.

Is Trademark Use Required to Maintain Registration in Maldives?

In the Maldives, rights originate from use of the trademark in the territory. That means:

  • Using your mark in the Maldives is fundamental to claiming and maintaining your rights.
  • The system relies on use plus the recommended publication of a cautionary notice, rather than on a classic register-and-renew structure.

There is no formal renewal procedure, but it is recommended to re-publish the cautionary notice annually to keep your claim active and clearly asserted in the country.
