In Mozambique, registering a trade mark doesn’t require you to use it immediately. However, after 5 years, you must submit a Declaration of Intention to Use (DIU) to maintain your trade mark rights! 📅
Why is this important?
If you fail to submit the DIU, a
third party can request the cancellation of your trade mark. ⚖️ The Trade Mark Office may even cancel it without notifying
you, leaving you shocked to find your trade mark removed from the official
register. Worst case, you could face legal actions for using a trade mark that
isn’t yours!
🔑 Key Takeaways:
- Always file your DIUs on time to keep your exclusive rights.
- DIUs maintain your trade mark, even if it’s not in
active use.
- Don’t miss out on this requirement when expanding into
new markets!
Stay proactive, protect your trade mark! 🚀
