In Mozambique, the declaration of intention to use system allows applicants to file trademarks with the purpose of preventing third parties from registering and using similar marks for different goods or services, with no obligation of use.
The government of Mozambique deposited its instrument of Accession to the Banjul Protocol on the 15th of May 2020 and will effectively become a member of ARIPO’s protocol for trademarks on August 15, 2020. It will, therefore, be possible to designate Mozambique in an ARIPO application filed from that date.
