Burundi is a small republic with high level of population, which makes it possible to rapidly promote your company in the country. There is own regulation on the continent of Africa, which should be observed if you want to obtain trademark in Burundi.

The process of registration of trademark in Burundi

  1. Preparation of trademark. TM can be expressions, names, surnames, company names, letters, schemes, pictures, symbols, notes, sounds and even three-dimensional images of objects. When submitting selected TM to regional expert commission, it verifies the trademark for compliance with all state norms and moral standards.

  2. Submission of application for consideration. The examination process can be referred to as formal one, because the main attention is paid for verifying documentation, while searching for coincidences with already existing trademarks is done in a percursory manner. The application is compiled according to special protocol, which you can obtain from the lawyers of our company.

  3. The examination lasts for one year with minor deviations. The term does not include collection, preparation and forwarding of documentation by our employees.

  4. Once issued, the trademark is valid for 10 years. It can be renewed for the same period within one year by means of paying state fee. In case the brand is not used for about 5 years, its operation may be terminated. Third parties can challenge the trademark within three months from the date of publication of the registration data. Challenging is conducted on the basis of sound reasons, such as plagiarism, violation of rights and miscellaneous.
