Egypt: registering a trademark costs an estimated US$508 for one class, plus US$442 for each further class. Egypt is a member of the Madrid System, so a trademark can be filed with its office directly or extended to Egypt through an international registration. Egypt is a leading import market for tobacco and smokers' articles (class 34) and pharmaceuticals (class 5). It is also one of the world's leading exporters of carpets and mats (class 27) and cement.
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.
In colour: goods where Egypt is among the world's 10 largest exporters, or has at least 5% of world exports. In grey, for comparison: its next-largest shares.
Goods where Egypt 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$508 for one class, from filing to registration: about US$50 in official fees and about US$458 in professional (law firm) fees. Each further class adds about US$442. Responses to office actions and oppositions are not included. These are estimates only: the actual cost depends on the law firm and the application.
