Trademark applications in Morocco typically follow a multi-class filing approach, with all matters handled by OMPIC.
Applicants must submit a clear depiction of the trademark and pay the prescribed fees.
A substantive examination confirms the trademark’s distinctiveness and verifies no conflict with existing registrations.
Registration is valid for 10 years from the filing date, renewable for consecutive 10-year periods.
Applicants must provide accurate details regarding name, address, and the goods or services in the relevant classes.
Morocco’s participation in the Madrid Protocol allows international applicants to designate
Morocco through a single international trademark application.
Trademark owners can enforce their rights in administrative or judicial proceedings, ensuring protection against unauthorized use within the Moroccan territory.
