The ETO is responsible for the filing, examination, publication, opposition, and registration of trademarks in Egypt. The system follows a first-to-file principle and includes formality examination, substantive examination, publication in the Official Trademark Gazette, opposition proceedings, and final registration. Foreign applicants are required to file trademark applications through a locally appointed Egyptian trademark agent.

How the Egypt Trademark Registration Works

The Egypt  trademark registration system follows a structured sequence of reviews, publications, and legal checks. These steps ensure that trademarks meet all statutory requirements and remain protected over time.

1

Filing

Trademark applications are filed with the Egyptian Trademark Office through a licensed local agent. The application includes applicant particulars, representation of the mark, and specification of goods/services under the Nice Classification. An application number is issued upon filing.

2

Examination

The ETO conducts a formal and substantive examination to assess registrability, including distinctiveness and compliance with Egyptian trademark law.

3

Publication

If accepted, the trademark application is published in the Official Trademark Bulletin.

4

Opposition Period

Third parties may file an opposition within 2 months from the date of publication.

5

Registration

If no opposition is filed, or if opposition proceedings are resolved in favor of the applicant, the trademark proceeds to registration and a certificate is issued.

6

Validity & Renewal

10 years from the filing date and may be renewed indefinitely for successive 10-year periods upon payment of renewal fees.
