We help foreign brand owners and cross-border teams clear, register, and enforce trademarks in Egypt with minimal friction. Our workflow covers pre-filing strategy, bilingual filings, examination and publication management, renewals, recordals, and practical enforcement against copycats and counterfeits.
Services are delivered locally through the lawyers the company cooperates with in Egypt and supported by certified translators in Cairo. Our company operates exclusively under Egyptian law and does not provide legal services under UK law. We take full responsibility for fulfilling all agreed obligations to clients.
Word marks, logos, combined marks, slogans, trade dress cues (where applicable), and transliteration strategies for Arabic labelling and marketing.
We issue a bilingual checklist and templates, then arrange notarisation/legalisation and certified Arabic translations as needed. Typical items:
Foreign applicants file through an Egyptian attorney. We standardise formats to reduce office actions and adjournments.
We conduct clearance to identify identical/confusingly similar marks and advise on risk management (alternative spellings, disclaimers, or device-heavy forms).
We draft focused specifications that cover current use and near-term pipeline while limiting exposure. Multi-class and phased filings are mapped to budgets and launch milestones.
Core mark + defensive variants (where justified), with a roadmap for complementary filings as your Egypt operation scales and licensing expands.
We send written updates at each milestone and coordinate translations, legalisation, and certified copies for official use.
Gazette and marketplace monitoring; cease-and-desist; online/offline takedowns coordinated with platforms and authorities; evidence collection and chain-of-custody support.
Customs recordation where appropriate, targeted inspections, training materials for field teams, and liaison with relevant authorities.
Drafting/recording licences and assignments; quality-control clauses; coexistence arrangements where commercially sensible.
We align Egyptian filings with your global plan: priority claims, harmonised specifications across jurisdictions, domain/handle protection, and distributor/franchise provisions that keep ownership and enforcement centralised. We coordinate with foreign counsel for regional extensions so timelines and evidence stay consistent.
Share a short brief and scans → we confirm registrability and classes → you receive a written plan with steps, timelines, and fees. Once approved, we file under a bilingual Power of Attorney (with legalisation where required) so the lawyers the company cooperates with in Egypt can act locally. We manage translations, monitor milestones, and deliver certified copies; where needed, we arrange consular legalisation or apostille with tracked courier. Remote onboarding available; updates in English (or Arabic).

Yes. Foreign individuals and companies can register trademarks in Egypt, but the application must be submitted through a licensed Egyptian attorney. You do not need to have a local office.
On average, the process takes 8 to 12 months from filing to final approval, depending on the complexity and objections, if any.
While not mandatory, it is strongly advised to submit bilingual (Arabic-English) trademark applications to ensure legal enforceability and broader recognition in Egypt.
Trade secrets are protected primarily through contractual agreements, including NDAs and confidentiality clauses. Egyptian law does not require formal registration for trade secrets.
Yes. Dual-language trademark registration is highly recommended in Egypt to ensure protection across all commercial and legal contexts.
No. Trademark protection in Egypt requires local registration, even if your trademark is registered in your home country or with WIPO under the Madrid Protocol.
If your registered trademark is infringed upon, you have the legal right to initiate civil or criminal proceedings, including cease-and-desist orders and claims for damages.
