Frequently Asked Questions

Why and How Should I register a Trademark in Zimbabwe?

Although it is not mandatory to register a trademark in Zimbabwe to establish ownership rights, doing so is highly recommended. Without registration, it can be difficult to protect your rights or take action against infringements.

Registering your trademark provides you with a clear legal presumption of ownership, helps prevent future disputes, and allows you to enforce your rights more easily.

Trademarks in Zimbabwe can be registered either:

  • Locally, with the Zimbabwe Intellectual Property Office (ZIPO); or
  • Regionally, through the African Regional Industrial Property Organization (ARIPO) under the Banjul Protocol, which grants protection in multiple African countries including Zimbabwe.

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

Once registered, your trademark in Zimbabwe will be valid for ten (10) years from the application (filing) date. It can be renewed indefinitely in additional 10-year periods by paying the corresponding renewal fees.

Zimbabwe is also a member of ARIPO and the Madrid Protocol, meaning your trademark can be extended internationally through these systems if needed.

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

Yes. Trademark opposition actions can be filed by interested third parties within two (2) months from the publication of the application by ZIPO.

Oppositions are usually based on confusing similarity between your trademark and the one being applied for. The likelihood of success depends on the specific circumstances of each case.

Is Trademark Use Required to Maintain Registration in Zimbabwe?

Yes. While it is not necessary for a trademark to be in use to obtain registration, it must be used to maintain it.

If a registered trademark is not used for five (5) consecutive years, it becomes vulnerable to cancellation for non-use. The extent of use required to avoid cancellation can be minimal.
