The Moroccan Office of Industrial and Commercial Property (OMPIC) has announced that as of 28 May 2018, it will only issue electronic trade mark registration and renewal certificates, with the OMPIC stamp.
This is in line with the office’s Strategic Plan 2016-2020 that seeks to innovate, be attentive to the needs of its customers and develop added-value services by, in this case, expediting the registration process of national trade marks in Morocco. The electronic certificate carries the same legal value for enforcement purposes.
