Trademark Registration in Cameroon

Cameroon is not a member of the Madrid Protocol. Applications can be filed through a local attorney. A simply signed power of attorney is required. A list of the classes in which the trademark will be used must be submitted. A multi-class system is used, and the Nice Classification applies. The term of protection for a trademark is 10 years. By renewing it every 10 years, the trademark can be used indefinitely. Oppositions can be filed for a certain period after the trademark is published.
