Frequently Asked Questions

Why and How Should I register a Trademark in Senegal?

You should register your trademark in Senegal because rights are obtained through registration with OAPI, not just through use. Senegal belongs to the **African Intellectual Property Organization (OAPI), so protection is granted at a regional level rather than by a purely local Senegalese filing. Unregistered marks enjoy very limited protection and only in exceptional circumstances.

To obtain protection in Senegal, your trademark must be registered through OAPI. A single OAPI application, filed with the **Organisation Africaine de la Propriété Intellectuelle (OAPI), covers all 17 member states, including Senegal. Once registered, your trademark gives you exclusive rights in Senegal and in the rest of the OAPI region and provides a solid basis to act against infringement and later conflicting filings.

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

The cost to register a trademark in Senegal is US$ 1200 for the first class, plus US$ 300 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 Senegal?

To register a trademark in Senegal (via OAPI), you need an original signed Power of Attorney (PoA) authorizing the local representative to act before OAPI.

In practice, this means:

The PoA must be signed by the trademark owner.
It must be provided in original form (not just a scan) so it can be lodged with OAPI as required.

Your attorney or agent may request additional information (such as details of the applicant, a clear representation of the mark, and a list of goods/services) to properly prepare and file the application.

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

The average time for a straightforward trademark application to register in Senegal (through OAPI) is around 9 months from filing.

This is an estimated processing time based on current practice. The actual duration may be longer if OAPI raises objections, if there are formal issues, or if opposition proceedings are filed by third parties.

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

Once the registration process via OAPI is successfully completed:

Your mark is registered and protected in Senegal and all other OAPI member states.
The registration is valid for ten (10) years from the application date.
It can then be renewed indefinitely in additional ten-year periods.

If the trademark is not renewed before its expiry date, there is a grace period of six (6) months after expiration during which renewal is still possible, subject to late renewal fees. As long as the registration is maintained and the mark is used, you can continue to enforce your rights in Senegal.

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

Yes. If a third party files a trademark that is confusingly similar to your mark for similar goods or services, you may file an opposition against their application before OAPI.

For marks covering Senegal (via OAPI):

Opposition actions may be filed within six (6) months of the mark’s publication in the Official Gazette of OAPI.
The chances of success will depend on factors such as similarity between the marks, overlap of goods/services, and the strength and priority of your earlier rights.

Is Trademark Use Required to Maintain Registration in Senegal?

A trademark does not need to be in use to be registered through OAPI and obtain protection in Senegal. However, after registration, use becomes important to keep the registration safe from non-use attacks.

If a registered trademark is not used for more than five (5) consecutive years, it becomes vulnerable to cancellation actions for lack of use brought by third parties. To avoid this:

The mark should be used in any of the OAPI member states (use in any one member country, including Senegal, can be sufficient to maintain the registration).
