How Our Trademark Registration Team Helps
Unregistered brands are at risk of being copied or challenged. A registered trademark gives you the exclusive legal right to use your brand name, logo, or slogan — and the ability to take action against infringers.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does trademark registration take in Kenya?
The timetable depends on KIPI examination, advertisement, any opposition and the current administrative workload. We explain each stage and provide a current estimate when filing.
Can I use ™ before my trademark is registered?
Yes — ™ indicates you're claiming trademark rights. Only use ® after official registration.
What can be trademarked?
Brand names, logos, slogans, colours, sounds and even smells can be trademarked if they are distinctive.
