Somalia. How to protect your brands in Africa's most failed state

Over the last few years, some clients have been interested in register your trademarks in Somalia. The situation of extreme conflict and difficulty suffered by this country in the Horn of Africa and the permanent closure of its Trademark Office for almost 3 decades have not made this possible.

Well, Although there is no Trademark Law, trademark owners can adopt precautionary measures against possible illicit uses by unauthorized third parties.

These measures are materialized through the publication of Precautionary Notices (Cautionary Notices) in a relevant newspaper in the country. With this formula, Trademark owners inform and warn third parties of their ownership and prepare a kind of proof of their rights..

Although there are not many companies and clients that maintain their interests in this African country, some companies have already begun to prepare by publishing Precautionary Notices.
