Trademark Management in Tunisia: Protecting Your Intellectual Property

Tunisia offers trademark protection under its Industrial Property Law, which is administered by the National Institute for Standardization and Industrial Property (INNORPI). A registered trademark in Tunisia grants the exclusive right to use a sign in commerce and to prevent unauthorized third-party use. However, to retain and enforce these rights, trademark owners must actively manage their registrations.

At Liesegang & Partner, we provide professional trademark management services in Tunisia to ensure your brand remains protected, up to date, and legally enforceable.

Our Trademark Management Services for Tunisia

We offer a comprehensive range of legal and administrative services for trademark owners operating in Tunisia:

  • Change of Contact Details for Trademark Owners
    Keep your trademark records current by updating address, phone number, or email with the Tunisian IP Office.
  • Change of Trademark Ownership (Assignment)
    When ownership of a trademark changes due to sale, merger, or inheritance, the new owner must be officially recorded.
  • Appointment of Legal Representative in Tunisia
    Non-resident trademark owners must appoint a local legal representative to act before INNORPI.
  • Opposition Against a Registered Trademark
    If a trademark is registered that conflicts with your own, you may file an opposition to protect your rights.
  • Representation in Trademark Opposition Proceedings
    If your trademark application is being opposed by a third party, we represent and defend your position before the Tunisian authorities.

Why the Above-Mentioned Products Are Important

Managing your trademark properly in Tunisia is essential to securing your rights and avoiding costly disputes:

  • Change of Contact Details: Ensures the IP Office can reach you with renewal notices, office actions, or oppositions. Outdated contact data may result in missed deadlines and legal issues.
  • Change of Ownership: Needed whenever a trademark is transferred. Failure to record the new owner may lead to enforcement problems and loss of rights in legal proceedings.
  • Legal Representative: Required for foreign applicants and owners. A representative guarantees timely and legally compliant handling of communications with INNORPI.
  • Opposition Filing: Allows you to protect your brand from confusingly similar trademarks that could harm your market presence in Tunisia.
  • Opposition Defense: Ensures your application proceeds to registration if it is challenged by third parties. Our legal team provides strategic representation to secure your rights.

Each of these services plays a critical role in the maintenance and defense of your trademark portfolio in Tunisia.
