Why renew your Trademark?
In Morocco, a registered trademark is protected for 10 years from the filing date and can be renewed indefinitely in 10-year periods. Failure to renew on time may result in:
Loss of the exclusive right to use your mark.
Jeopardizing your marketing and commercial investments.
Difficulties in taking action for infringement or opposition.

Renewing your trademark is essential to maintaining your exclusive rights. In Morocco, this process must be completed within the legal deadlines to avoid any loss of protection. The Council supports you throughout the process with rigor and expertise. Preserve the value of your trademark and secure your investments by entrusting us with your renewals.
Our support for renewal
Pre-renewal audit: verification of the wording (Nice classes), scope of use, owners, and any changes (transfer/assignment).
Strategy: maintain as is, rationalize classes, or extend protection in line with your development (export, new product lines).
OMPIC procedure: preparation of the file, payment of fees, and follow-up until renewal registration.
International: coordination of deadlines via WIPO for international registrations (Madrid System) and with foreign offices.
Post-renewal: updating documentation, implementing a monitoring plan, and establishing an anti-counterfeiting protocol.
Schedule and critical milestones
Renewal window: within the months preceding the 10-year expiration date.
After expiration: a legal grace period is allowed with a surcharge; beyond this, the trademark may lapse.
Le Conseillex recommendation: initiate the process 6 to 9 months before expiration to secure budgets, documents, and strategic decisions (classes/countries).
Useful documents and verifications
Registration details: number, filing date, and owners.
Description of goods/services: Nice classes to be maintained or adjusted.
Documents related to ownership changes: assignment, merger, or name change.
Proof of use in case of dispute: invoices, product images, catalogs, and advertising campaigns.
Integrate renewal into your trademark strategy
Renewal is an opportunity to align your portfolio with your objectives:
Consolidation: adjust the wording to match current and future product lines.
Defense: strengthen your ability to act in opposition, litigation, and anti-counterfeiting.
Expansion: plan target countries through international filings and harmonize renewal dates.
Exploitation: prepare licensing or franchising operations and secure related contracts.

A retail chain wanted to streamline a portfolio of brands spread across several classes.
