Looking to protect your brand in Morocco? At SGHAIR & THOUM LAW FIRM, we provide comprehensive legal services for trademark registration in Morocco to help individuals, startups, and international companies secure their intellectual property rights.
What Is a Trademark?
A trademark is any distinctive sign – such as a name, logo, symbol, or slogan – that identifies your products or services and differentiates them from others in the market. In Morocco, trademarks are protected under the Industrial Property Law No. 17-97, managed by the Office Marocain de la Propriété Industrielle et Commerciale (OMPIC).
Why Register Your Trademark in Morocco?
Registering a trademark in Morocco offers several key benefits:
- ✅ Exclusive Rights: You gain legal protection against imitation and unauthorized use.
- ✅ Market Advantage: A registered trademark builds trust and adds value to your brand.
- ✅ Enforcement: You can take legal action against infringement or counterfeiting.
- ✅ International Reach: Morocco is a member of the Madrid Protocol, enabling easier international registration.
Trademark Registration Process in Morocco
At SGHAIR & THOUM LAW FIRM, we guide you through every step of the trademark registration process:
- Trademark Search
We conduct a prior art search in OMPIC’s database to check availability and avoid conflicts. - Application Preparation
We prepare and file your trademark application with OMPIC, including required documents and classification of goods/services. - Examination & Publication
OMPIC examines your trademark, and if accepted, it is published in the official bulletin for opposition. - Opposition Period
