Registering a trademark is just the first step in protecting your brand. The real challenge begins after registration — ensuring that no other party tries to register or use a similar or identical mark that may confuse consumers or dilute your brand. This is where trademark monitoring becomes essential.
At Legal Morocco, we offer specialized trademark monitoring services tailored to businesses operating in or targeting the Moroccan market. Our service helps brand owners stay alert, informed, and ready to act if any conflicting trademark is published by the Moroccan Office of Industrial and Commercial Property (OMPIC).
What Is Trademark Monitoring?
Trademark monitoring is a proactive legal service that involves regular surveillance of newly published trademark applications in Morocco. It allows you to detect attempts by third parties to register names, logos, or slogans that are:
- Identical to your trademark
- Confusingly similar
- Designed to benefit from your brand reputation
Without a proper monitoring system, such threats may go unnoticed — and once the opposition period has passed, challenging these applications becomes costly and complex.
Our Trademark Monitoring Services Include:
✅ Ongoing Monitoring of OMPIC Bulletins
We monitor every new trademark published in the official bulletin issued by OMPIC. This helps identify potential infringements within the legal opposition timeframe (2 months).
✅ Alerts for Identical or Similar Trademarks
We analyze trademarks across relevant classes to detect:
- Exact name/logo matches
- Phonetically similar marks
- Visually or conceptually similar elements
✅ Legal Assessment of Risk
Our legal team provides a quick evaluation of whether a conflicting mark poses a real risk to your brand and whether you should file an opposition.
✅ Filing Trademark Oppositions
If a risk is identified, we assist you in preparing and filing a formal opposition with full legal representation.
✅ Monthly or Quarterly Reports
Clients receive clear and actionable reports with summaries of relevant trademark publications and our legal recommendations.
