At TrademarkNamibia.com, we are experienced in and dedicated to the registration of trademarks in Namibia. TrademarkNamibia.com is managed by Namibian corporate attorneys. Through TrademarkNamibia.com we endeavour to create the platform to ease the filing, renewal and amendment of Trade Marks in Namibia.
The Law relating to trademarks in Namibia as its origin in common law and is further specifically regulated by statute.
Through the common law a person certain basic or fundamental rights with give rise to an action in the event of passing off. These principles are derived from the general principals in the Roman Dutch law and have remained unaffected by legislation. However, these common law rights are practically insufficient for the purposes of effective protection and enforcement of proprietary rights in the modern commercial environment. Therefore we specifically advise that every person with a proprietary right to any Trade Mark should register that trademark in Namibia as to enjoy the protection afforded by law.
It is important to note that although Namibia is a party to various international agreements the enforcement of a foreign Trade Mark in Namibia is virtually impossible without registration of that Trade Mark in Namibia.
Trade Mark Registration in Namibia is regulated by the Trade Mark Act, No 48 of 1973 (this Act was original known as the Trade Marks in South-West-Africa Act), where under the registration of Trade Marks in Namibia are Regulated. The Namibian Trade Mark Act further creates certain protection mechanisms which are available to persons with proprietary rights to a Trade Mark Registered in Namibia. |
