Eritrea: Trademark

In the absence of a dedicated trademark registration system, proprietors commonly rely on cautionary notices to assert and publicize their ownership. These notices are circulated in widely accessible local newspapers to reach potential infringers and the general public.

• Cautionary notices often state the mark, the owner’s details, and the claim of ownership.
• There is no specific registration term; however, many owners periodically republish their notices to reinforce their claims.
• Enforcement generally depends on the owner’s vigilance and reputation in the marketplace.
• No official trademark office exists, so there are no certifications or official registrations to confirm ownership.

Because of this approach, brand owners in Eritrea typically focus on consistent market presence and proactive monitoring of local communications.
