Steps for Trademark Registration in Belgium

01

Comprehensive Search

Begin with a detailed trademark search to ensure your mark is available and not conflicting with existing Benelux trademarks.

02

Filing of Application

File the trademark application with the Benelux Office for Intellectual Property (BOIP), including goods and services classification.

03

Formal Examination

BOIP examines the application for formal requirements and absolute grounds such as distinctiveness.

04

Publication of Trademark

Once accepted, the trademark is published in the Benelux Trademarks Register for third-party review.

05

Opposition Period (2 Months)

Third parties have two months to oppose the application. If unopposed, the trademark proceeds to registration.

06

Response to Opposition (If Any)

If an opposition is filed, legal arguments and evidence must be submitted to defend your trademark.

07

Issuance of Registration Certificate

If no opposition is filed or resolved successfully, BOIP issues the trademark registration certificate.

08

Trademark Protection & Monitoring

Monitor your trademark to prevent infringement and take timely action against unauthorized use.

09

Renewal of Trademark

Benelux trademarks are valid for 10 years and can be renewed indefinitely for additional 10-year periods.

Key Information for Trademark Registration in Belgium

To file a trademark application in Belgium, you must provide details of the goods and services under the Nice Classification. There is no requirement to show prior use of the trademark at the time of filing. If you have filed a trademark application in another country and wish to claim priority, the application number and filing date must be provided.

The Belgian trademark registration process is relatively fast and usually takes 3 to 5 months, provided no opposition is filed. After examination, the trademark is published, allowing a 2-month opposition period for third parties.

Once the opposition period ends without objections—or after successful opposition defense—the trademark is officially registered, and the Benelux Trademark Registration Certificate is issued by BOIP.

    Trademark Registration in the EU for African Businesses Start Strong, Stay Protected

    African entrepreneurs, startups, and companies increasingly aim to expand their brands into international markets — including Europe. One of the most effective ways to protect your brand across the entire European Union is by registering a European Union Trademark (EUTM) through the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO).

    A single EUTM application grants protection in all 27 EU member states, making it a cost-effective and centralized solution. Whether you’re exporting goods to Europe, launching an eCommerce store, or setting up a partnership in the EU, we can help you register your trademark and secure your brand in one of the world’s largest economies.

    We assist African businesses and individuals with the full process — from trademark search to filing and legal representation before the EUIPO.

    ✅ Frequently Asked Questions

    Can African companies register a trademark with the EUIPO?
    +
    Yes. Any individual or company from Africa (or any non-EU country) can apply for a European Union Trademark (EUTM). However, they must appoint a European-based legal representative. We provide this service.
    What is a European Union Trademark (EUTM)?
    +
    A EUTM is a single trademark registration that provides exclusive rights across all 27 EU member countries. It is managed by the EUIPO, based in Alicante, Spain.
    Why should African businesses register a trademark in the EU?
    +
    • Protect your brand across the entire EU with one application
    • Prevent others from using or registering similar marks
    • Support expansion into the European market
    • Strengthen international brand credibility
    • Enforce rights through EU courts and customs
    What is the process to register a trademark with the EUIPO?

    No. Use is not required at the time of filing. However, if the trademark is not used for 5 consecutive years after registration, it may be vulnerable to cancellation for non-use.

    +
    Yes. You can use your EUTM as a basis for international applications through the Madrid Protocol to protect your mark in countries like the USA, UK, China, and more.
    Can you assist African clients remotely?
    +
    Absolutely. We work with African entrepreneurs, exporters, and legal firms across the continent and offer end-to-end services remotely, including consultations, filings, and EU representation.

          Steps for Trademark Registration in Canada

          01

          Comprehensive Search

          Begin with a thorough trademark search to ensure your desired mark is unique and not already registered in Canada.

          02

          Filing of Application

          Submit the application with classification of goods/services, usage intent, and any priority claim details (if applicable).

          03

          Preliminary Examination

          The Canadian IP Office examines the application for conflicts and compliance with trademark law.

          04

          Respond to Examination Report

          If any objections are raised, a response must be filed addressing the examiner’s concerns to proceed further.

          05

          Publication in Office Gazette

          Once approved, the mark is published in the Trademarks Journal for third-party awareness and objections.

          06

          Opposition Period (60 Days)

          A 60-day window allows third parties to file oppositions. If unopposed, the process moves ahead smoothly.

          07

          Issuance of Registration Certificate

          After opposition period, a Notice of Allowance is issued. Pay CA$ 200 to receive the registration certificate.

          08

          Maintenance After Registration

          Continue monitoring trademark usage and ensure no infringements occur. Proper maintenance ensures long-term protection.

          09

          Renewal of the Registration

          Trademarks must be renewed every 10 years in Canada to remain valid and enforceable.

          Key Information for Canadian Trademark Registration

          To file a Trademark application in Canada, you must provide details about the goods and services classification for which the mark will be used. At the time of filing, indicate whether you are already using the trademark in commerce or intend to use it in the future. If you have filed a trademark application in another country and wish to claim priority, include the application number and filing date from that jurisdiction.

          The Canadian trademark registration process typically takes 18–28 months (or longer). After filing, your application undergoes examination. If approved, it is published in the Trademarks Journal for a 60-day opposition period. If no opposition is filed, the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO) issues a Notice of Allowance.

          Within two months of publication, a final fee of CA$200 must be paid to receive your official Trademark Registration Certificate. This fee is included in our Professional Package.

            Provisional Patent Filing

            A provisional patent application is a low-cost, fast-track way to secure an early filing date for your invention in the United States. It allows inventors and businesses to establish official recognition of their idea with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) before filing a non-provisional (full) patent application. While a provisional patent doesn’t result in a granted patent by itself, it gives you 12 months to further develop your invention, seek funding, or test the market — all while protecting your “patent pending” status.

            We provide expert assistance in drafting and filing provisional patent applications tailored to your innovation and long-term IP strategy.

            ✅ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

            Provisional Patent Application

            What is a provisional patent application?
            +
            A provisional patent application is a temporary application filed with the USPTO that establishes an early priority date but does not require formal claims, an oath, or declaration.
            What are the benefits of filing a provisional patent?
            +
            • Establishes an early filing date
            • Allows use of “Patent Pending” label
            • Lower initial cost compared to a non-provisional
            • Provides 12 months to develop or market the invention before full filing
            Does a provisional patent protect my invention?
            +
            A provisional patent does not itself grant enforceable rights, but it secures your priority date, which is critical if someone else files a similar invention later.
            How long is a provisional patent valid?
            +
            A provisional application is valid for 12 months from the filing date. You must file a non-provisional (utility) application within that time to retain the priority date.
            What happens if I don’t file a non-provisional within 12 months?
            +
            If you don’t file a non-provisional application within 12 months, your provisional application expires and cannot be revived. You will lose the benefit of the original filing date.
            What information should be included in a provisional application?
            +
            A complete description of the invention, including:
            • How it works
            • Key components or steps
            • Drawings or sketches (if applicable)
            • Any variations or alternatives

            The more detail, the better. We can help draft your description professionally.
            Do I need to include claims in a provisional application?
            +
            No. Unlike a non-provisional application, a provisional does not require formal claims, although a well-drafted disclosure is still essential.
            Can I file multiple provisional patents for the same invention?
            +
            Yes, you can file multiple provisional applications if your invention evolves. Later, you can consolidate them into a single non-provisional application.
            Will my provisional application be published?
            +
            No. Provisional patent applications are not published or examined by the USPTO. They remain confidential unless claimed in a later non-provisional patent.
            Can I claim “patent pending” after filing a provisional?
            +
            Yes. Once filed, you can immediately mark your invention as “Patent Pending,” which can deter potential infringers and attract investors.
            Can a foreign applicant file a provisional patent in the US?
            +
            Yes. Foreign inventors and companies can file a provisional patent in the US. However, local legal requirements in their country may also apply.
            Do you help prepare drawings and technical descriptions?
            +
            Yes. We offer technical illustration, line art, and professional drafting services to ensure your application is clear, complete, and properly supported.
            What are the costs of filing a provisional patent?
            +
            Costs vary based on the complexity of the invention and whether you require professional drafting. We offer affordable packages for startups, entrepreneurs, and businesses.
