✅ Why You Should Register a Trademark in Morocco
If you’re launching a business, expanding internationally, or protecting a product or logo, it is essential to register your trademark in Morocco. A trademark provides you with:
- Exclusive rights to use your brand in Moroccan territory
- Legal protection against counterfeiting and unauthorized use
- A strong asset for licensing, franchising, or business sales
- Enhanced credibility and recognition in the market
At Legal Morocco, we help individuals and companies protect their brand identity efficiently through professional legal assistance.
📝 What Is a Trademark in Morocco?
A trademark is any sign—word, logo, phrase, symbol, or design—that identifies your product or service. In Morocco, trademarks are regulated by Law No. 17-97, and the registration authority is OMPIC (Office Marocain de la Propriété Industrielle et Commerciale).
🧭 Step-by-Step Guide to Register a Trademark in Morocco
At Legal Morocco, we simplify the process of trademark registration in Morocco into these clear steps:
1. Trademark Search (Optional but Recommended)
Before submitting your application, we perform a trademark availability search to check for conflicts in the OMPIC database.
2. Filing the Application with OMPIC
The application includes:
- Trademark sample (logo or name)
- Goods/services (classified under the Nice Classification)
- Applicant’s identity and address
- Proof of payment
3. Formal Examination
OMPIC verifies the formal and legal validity of the trademark application.
4. Publication in the Official Bulletin
Your trademark is published in OMPIC’s bulletin for a 2-month opposition period.
5. Handling Oppositions
If another party files an objection, Legal Morocco will represent you and defend your case.
6. Issuance of Registration Certificate
Once the opposition period closes without conflict, OMPIC delivers your official trademark certificate.
