uvalued:CAC is basical registering ur companys name. But what we do at ministry of trade mark is entirely different frm wat is done at CAA. Trademark registeration deals with registaring the products u sale in ur company. The name u use to register those products is what is refered to as trademark, wich is a unique destintive name or logo u claim fr ur products n no one else is allowed to use it except u. For example coca cola is a companys name registered wit CAC, pepsi is a product of cocacola company registered as a trademark in ministry of trade and investment. The name pepsi n logo is registed to that company so no any other campany can use that name fr der products. Hope this was helpfull. For more information on trademarks and how to register trademarkd whatsapp me on 07030320807 thnks |

The registration of trademarks is in five main stages, viz: Name Availability Search, Acknowledgement, Acceptance, Publication and Certificate Issuance. 1. Name Availability Search: Unlike the practice at CAC, proposed names/marks are not normally reserved as the Trademarks Registry does not have such facility. Rather, an availabilty search will be conducted to confirm that such a mark is available at the material time of that search. It then behoves the applicant to take immediate steps to register the name before any other applicant presents a similar name/mark for registration. Otherwise, such a name will remain open and available to any other more diligent applicant. 2. Acknowledgement If a name is deemed to be available, the applicant will be issued an ACKNOWLEDGEMENT upon the payment of the applicable registration fees. This means that the Trademarks office has received your application, for processing. This takes up to five business days. 3. Acceptance: Upon completion of the registration, the applicant is issued the ACCEPTANCE indicative that the mark is registered. This process takes approximately four weeks. The actual registration Certificate will however issue only after publication. 4. Publication The Trademarks Office publishes all ACCEPTED applications in its Trademarks Journal to enable members of the public react thereto within 30days. 5. Certificate The Certificate will be issued if there is no objection to that mark after 30 days of the publication in the Trademarks Journal. The publication is meant to be done quarterly but in reality, it is done at the convenience of the Trademarks office. Owing to reasons of finance or other constraints, the journal is not published regularly and this may delay the issuance of the certificate for years. The ACCEPTANCE is generally regarded as proof of registration of a trademark in Nigeria. Thus, most practitioners only commit to the ACCEPTANCE stage in order to avoid undue rancour with impatient Applicants over delayed certificates. Processing to Acceptance costs 35k inclusive of all fees and courier expenses. Publication and Certificate costs an additional 25k making it a total of 60k for registration in one class. There are over 45 classifications of Trademarks being a convenient grouping of marks according to the nature of the products from water, electricals to tyres etc. We don't need the technical details here though. I will therefore advise the OP to do the Acceptance for now owing to his lean purse. 2 Likes |

Re: What Is The Cost Of Registering Trademarks In Nigeria? by Facetoface(m): 1:58pm On May 07, 2017 |
It depends on the product you wish to trademark. The last time I trademark my branded car battery, I paid N5000 for search, N17,500 for filings. I then tip a staff N5000 for speeding up the process. This happened in June 2016. You may need to pay more if the three names you initially submitted is taken or unavailable. edoman2016: |

hasiya01:If this is it then I'd like to know how. I went to the Ministry of Commerce, Trade and Investment in Abuja only to be told that... 1. N1, 500 for name search 2. N50, 000 for trademark The man I met said N15, 000 is official fees and I asked about the remaining N35, 000, he said it's processing fees. And the good part, it won't reflect in the receipt save the N15, 000. Please help a brother. |

hasiya01: OP Pls talk to Hasiya if she truly works with the Trademarks registry That will be a lot cheaper for you. As a lawyer, I will never charge less than 30k for Acceptance. So she appears your best bet considering your limited budget. |

the payment is done in skye bank in the Ministry s account, but before payment you do the search which is also paid there. after u get the report n its free then you make an App ication and fill form 1, form 2 authorization form and bromide page if it has a logo. 1 Like |
