Myanmar’s new trademark law came into effect on 1 April 2023 with Notification No. 82/20230.
In Myanmar, trademark rights come into existence upon successful registration. Actual use of a trademark does not grant any rights.
The registration of trademarks in Myanmar is done through the offices of the Deparmtnet of Intellectual Property (IDP).
If you register a combined trademark (which includes both word elements and figurative elements) in Myanmar, the exclusive right to use the trademark is limited to a use of the trademark in the exact configuration or way in which it was filed and registered. If you wish to use the word element of your trademark separately from the logo (or vice versa), it is recommended you register for another trademark including only the word or figurative elements you wish to use and protect separately.
Nevertheless, if a third party eventually intends to register or use a trademark for similar goods or services that includes a primary or distinct part or portion of your trademark, you will have the right to oppose the application based on confusing similarity. Opposition actions in this case must be presented within sixty (60) days from the date on which the conflicting trademark application is published for registration. Probabilities of success for an opposition will vary in each case depending on the circumstances.
Registered trademarks in Myanmar are granted protection for a period of ten (10) years, term that begins from the date in which they are registered. A trademark can be renewed for subsequent ten-year periods indefinitely. In order to renew a request must be made within the six (6) months preceding its expiry date. In Myanmar, trademarks may still be renewed even once the validity period has lapsed, during a grace period of six (6) months after the trademark’s expiry period.
