End-to-End Trademark Registration in Togo

To obtain trademark protection and recognition in Togo, it must necessarily be registered through OAPI.
A trademark registered with the Organisation Africaine de la Propriété Intellectuelle (OAPI) grants protection in all seventeen (17) member states of this organization, including Togo.
OAPI is also a member state of the Madrid Protocol, allowing for international registration through the Madrid System.

If you register a combined trademark (with both word and figurative elements) through OAPI, your exclusive right applies only to the exact configuration registered. To protect and use the elements separately, additional registrations are recommended.

To register a trademark in Togo, you will generally need:

• Original Power of Attorney, signed. No notarization or legalization required.
• The name or logo you want to register
• The applicant’s details

Your iGERENT consultant will confirm the exact requirements for your case and guide you through each step.

The average application process takes 9 months. This is an estimated process time for straightforward cases based on current timeframes for applications. It may vary considerably.

Registered trademarks in OAPI have a validity of 10 years from the application date and can be renewed indefinitely for further ten-year periods.
A six-month grace period is available for late renewals upon payment of a late fee.

Yes.
Opposition actions may be filed by interested third parties within six (6) months following publication in the Official Gazette.
The chances of success depend on the specific circumstances of each case.

Although a trademark does not have to be in use to be registered, it must not go unused for more than five (5) years after registration, or it becomes vulnerable to cancellation actions based on lack of use.
Use of the mark in any OAPI member state is sufficient to maintain the registration.
