DIY vs. Professional Trademark Registration in Tanzania

Filing yourself in Tanzania can work in simple cases. For anything more complex, professional help can save time, budget, and headaches.

Do-It-Yourself Trademark Filing in Tanzania

You must understand all forms, legal terms, and office guidelines on your own.
Choosing classes and wording goods/services incorrectly can cause delays, refusals, or weak protection.
If objections arrive, you have to read, interpret, and respond by yourself under strict deadlines.
You alone monitor status, deadlines, and correspondence, and you start from scratch each time you move into a new country.
Initial fees may look cheaper, but refilings, fixing mistakes, and hiring mandatory local agents can quickly increase the real cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why and How Should I register a Trademark in Tanzania?

In Tanzania, trademark rights are born with actual registration, and there are separate IP offices for:

Mainland Tanzania (Tanganyika), and
Zanzibar and the archipelago region.

To obtain rights in either region, a trademark must be filed directly with the corresponding office.

For mainland Tanzania, local trademark registration is done through the Tanzanian Business Registration and Licensing Agency (BRELA).

Mainland Tanzania is also a member of the African Regional Industrial Property Organization (ARIPO) and party to the Banjul Protocol. Filing via ARIPO grants protection in:

Botswana, Cape Verde, the Gambia, Lesotho, Liberia, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Sao Tome and Principe, Eswatini, Uganda, Tanzania (mainland) and Zimbabwe. More information is available on trademark services in ARIPO.

If you register a combined trademark (word + figurative elements) in Tanzania, the exclusive right to use the mark is limited to the exact configuration in which it was filed and registered. If you want to use the word element separately from the logo (or vice versa), it is advisable to file another trademark covering only the element you wish to protect separately.

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

The cost to register a trademark in Tanzania is US$ 1050 for the first class, plus US$ 900 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 Tanzania?

To register a trademark in Tanzania, you will need a scanned copy of a signed Power of Attorney (PoA) document.

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

The average time for a straightforward application to proceed to registration in Tanzania is about 15 months.

This is an estimated timeframe based on current processing of standard cases and may vary considerably.

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

For locally registered trademarks in mainland Tanzania:

The initial validity period is seven (7) years.
After that, the mark may be renewed for additional periods of ten (10) years.
There is no limit on how many times a trademark may be renewed.

The text provided does not mention any specific grace period or late renewal fee rules beyond this.

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

Yes. In Tanzania:

Opposition actions may be filed after publication of the trademark in the Trade and Service Mark Journal.
Once the trademark is published, there are sixty (60) days to file an opposition.

The chances of success of an opposition will depend on the particular circumstances of each case. If a third party seeks to register or use a mark for similar goods or services that includes a primary or distinctive part of your mark, you may oppose the application on grounds of confusing similarity.
