Why register a trademark?
Trademarkers.com will process your trademark registration in Benin through the following steps:
File your Trademark Application
$1,330.00
With a legally registered trademark, you gain several benefits:
- Potential copycats are deterred from infringing on your brand
- The ability of other brands to claim that you are infringing on their trademark is severely diminished
Our licensed Trademark Agency in Benin will handle your trademark request, check all formalities, and then file with the Agence Nationale de la Propriété Industrielle (ANaPI). You will receive confirmation of filing and a copy of the filing request. We will contact you immediately if any subsequent office actions require additional information, or if there are any opposition in Benin against your application.
After the formal examination at the Agence Nationale de la Propriété Industrielle the trademark will be published for opposition to allow third parties to oppose if they believe that the mark infringes on their brands. The opposition period in Benin is 6 months after publication. You will receive status updates as soon as your mark is published, and any actions the Agence Nationale de la Propriété Industrielle will take if oppositions are received.
If no oppositions arise and your trademark is formally approved, you can expect registration within 9 - 12 months.
