Frequently Asked Questions

Why and How Should I register a Trademark in Zambia?

In Zambia, trademark registration is compulsory if you want to be granted and enforce exclusive rights over your mark. The country follows a “first-to-file” system, which means that, as a general rule, the first person or company to file the trademark will have the better legal position, even if someone else used it earlier. Only in exceptional cases can an unregistered trademark be protected.

To obtain protection, your application must be filed with the trademark section of the Patents and Companies Registration Agency (PACRA).

Zambia is also a member of the Madrid Protocol, so you can seek protection either by filing directly in Zambia or by extending an international (Madrid) registration to Zambia. We offer full support for trademark filing through the Madrid System.

There is no requirement to prove prior use of the trademark in Zambia for it to be registered.

If you file a combined trademark (for example, word + logo), your exclusive rights will cover the mark exactly as it was filed and registered. If you plan to use the word element and the logo separately, it is advisable to file additional applications for each element you wish to protect on its own.

If a third party later tries to register or use a trademark for similar goods or services, and their mark includes a main or distinctive part of your mark, you will have the right to oppose their application on grounds of confusing similarity.

If you would like the figurative or design elements of your mark to be taken into account in a Trademark Search Report for Zambia, you should contact us directly so we can confirm whether this service is available in this jurisdiction. In such cases, prices and estimated delivery times may vary.

What Documents are Required for Trademark Registration in Zambia?

To proceed with trademark registration in Zambia, you must provide an original signed power of attorney document.

This document authorizes a local representative or attorney to act on your behalf before PACRA during the application and registration process.

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

The average timeframe for registering a trademark in Zambia is around 36 months.

This is an estimated duration for straightforward cases, based on current processing times. The actual time can vary considerably depending on factors such as:

The complexity of the application.
Any objections raised by the trademarks office.
Possible oppositions filed by third parties.

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

A trademark registered in Zambia is valid for:

An initial period of seven (7) years from the application date.
It can then be renewed indefinitely for successive periods of fourteen (14) years.

You may request renewal:

As early as six (6) months before the expiration date, and
During a grace period of one (1) month after the publication of the expiration in the trademarks journal, in which case a late renewal fee will apply.

If the trademark is not renewed within these periods, the registration will lapse and you would need to file a new application to regain protection.

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

If someone tries to register a mark that conflicts with yours, you may have the possibility to act against it.

In Zambia, opposition actions can be filed by interested third parties:

Within two (2) months from the date the application is published in the trademarks journal.

During this period, you can oppose the registration if the applied-for mark is identical or confusingly similar to your own for similar goods or services. The chances of success of an opposition will depend on the specific circumstances of each case.

Is Trademark Use Required to Maintain Registration in Zambia?

For registration: a trademark does not need to be in use in Zambia to be filed or registered.
After registration: if the trademark is not used for five (5) consecutive years after registration, it becomes vulnerable to cancellation actions for non-use brought by third parties.

The text specifies that, in order to prevent this vulnerability, the use of the mark can be minimal. What matters is that the mark is genuinely used in commerce so you can defend the registration if challenged.
