on Intellectual Property (law 20-00 of May 2000 on industrial property and 65-00 of August 2000 on

World Trade Organization (WTO) on Trade-Related Intellectual Property Aspects (TRIPS). Ever since the
enacting o f these laws, a remarkable change on protection system for trademarks has been accomplished.
For instance, with the adoption of the Niza´s International Classification of Goods that gives a wider and
greater protection to registered trademarks and eliminates the limited scope of former local classification with
70 classes of products.
Moreover, creation of National Office for Industrial Property (by law 20-00), has started the modernization of
the trademark computer system and has incorporated the technology needed to expedite the process as
from clearance search until possible administrative conflicts which might arise from the application in
question. We are a team of intellectual property lawyers commited to your success when registering

any use by third parties of the registered trademark, except for the cases when use by third parties is

of the trade name which takes place when no use of the trade name in question has been made for the last
5 years.

proof of use of the trademark along with a Declaration of Use or Non use based on the provisions of Act
