The Brunei Intellectual Property Office (BruIPO) handles the filing, substantive examination, publication, opposition, registration, and renewal of trademarks in Brunei Darussalam.
Why Trademark Registration in Brunei Is Important for Brand Protection?
Exclusive Rights: Grants you exclusive legal ownership and control over your trademark for the registered goods/services throughout Brunei.
Legal Enforcement: Enables you to take action against infringement, counterfeiting, and unauthorized use through the Brunei Intellectual Property Office (BruIPO) and relevant courts.
Nationwide Protection: Secures trademark protection across the entire territory of Brunei.
Regional Protection Advantage: Brunei is a member of the Madrid Protocol, allowing international trademark protection through a single application across multiple member countries.
Trademark Registration Procedure in Brunei
Here is the step-by-step process followed for trademark registration in Brunei
Filing
The application is filed with BruIPO, containing the mark, applicant details, a specification of goods/services (Nice Classification), and the required forms. A separate application is needed for each class.
Examination
The BruIPO examines the application for formal compliance and substantive grounds. An examination report is issued if objections are raised.
Acceptance & Publication
If accepted, the mark is published in the Brunei Government Gazette and on BruIPO's website.
Opposition Period
A statutory two-month opposition period commences from the publication date for third parties to file an opposition.
Registration
If no opposition is filed or successfully defended, the applicant pays the registration fee. BruIPO then issues the Certificate of Registration.
