Trademark Management in Brunei: Protecting Your Intellectual Property
Brunei’s trademark system is governed by the Trade Marks Act (Cap. 98) and administered by the Brunei Intellectual Property Office (BruIPO). For both local and international businesses, managing trademarks in Brunei is essential for maintaining exclusive rights and protecting brand identity in this growing Southeast Asian market.
At Liesegang & Partner, we assist clients in every phase of trademark management in Brunei — from maintaining up-to-date ownership records to handling complex opposition proceedings. Our international expertise and familiarity with Brunei’s legal procedures ensure a smooth and compliant trademark strategy tailored to your business needs.
