Angola: registering a trademark costs an estimated US$786 for one class, plus US$786 for each further class. Angola is not a member of the Madrid System, so a trademark must be filed directly with its office. Angola is a leading import market for metal goods (class 6) and machines (class 7). It is also one of the world's leading exporters of rough diamonds.
Figures by trademark class count branded goods only: raw commodities that are traded mostly without brands - such as gold bars, fuel, bulk chemicals, grain and fabric by the metre - are left out. Hong Kong, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates are left out of the rankings, as much of their trade is re-exported.
Goods where Angola is among the world's 3 largest exporters, has at least 15% of world exports, or that make up at least 25% of its own exports - of at least US$500m a year.
Our estimate is about US$786 for one class, from filing to registration: about US$58 in official fees and about US$728 in professional (law firm) fees. Each further class costs about as much again (US$786). Responses to office actions and oppositions are not included. These are estimates only: the actual cost depends on the law firm and the application. Request a quote from a law firm on this site for an exact price.
