Description

Applications must be filed with the Egyptian Trademark Office, adopting a single-class filing system. Each filing corresponds to one class of goods or services:

  • Applicants must present a clear reproduction of the trademark and pay the official filing fees.

  • A substantive exam reviews distinctiveness and possible conflicts with earlier trademarks.

  • Once granted, trademark registrations remain valid for 10 years from the filing date, with renewal available for further 10-year periods.

  • Accurate applicant information (name, address) and specific class details are crucial for successful registration.

  • Egypt’s membership in the Madrid System allows international applicants to designate Egypt when seeking wider trademark protection.

Under Egyptian law, trademark owners can take administrative or judicial action against unauthorized use, ensuring robust protection for their marks within the country.
