Morocco: registering a trademark costs an estimated US$672 for one class, plus US$184 for each further class. Morocco is a member of the Madrid System, so a trademark can be filed with its office directly or extended to Morocco through an international registration. Morocco is a leading import market for haberdashery (class 26) and rubber and plastics (class 17). It is also one of the world's leading exporters of mixed fertilisers and phosphoric acid.
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 Morocco 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$672 for one class, from filing to registration: about US$225 in official fees and about US$447 in professional (law firm) fees. Each further class adds about US$184. Responses to office actions and oppositions are not included. These are estimates only: the actual cost depends on the law firm and the application.
