Sudan: registering a trademark costs an estimated US$945 for one class, plus US$945 for each further class. Sudan is a member of the Madrid System, so a trademark can be filed with its office directly or extended to Sudan through an international registration. Sudan is a leading import market for coffee, tea, bakery and confectionery (class 30) and pharmaceuticals (class 5). It is also one of the world's leading exporters of live sheep and goats and oil seeds.
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 Sudan 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$945 for one class, from filing to registration: about US$165 in official fees and about US$780 in professional (law firm) fees. Each further class costs about as much again (US$945). 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.
Sudan is a member of the Madrid System, so a trademark can be filed with its office directly or extended to Sudan through an international registration. Designating Sudan costs WIPO's standard complementary fee of CHF 100 (about US$120); beyond three classes WIPO also charges a supplementary fee per class, on top of its basic fee for the international application.
Sudan's 8 largest import markets by trademark class are pharmaceuticals (class 5, US$234m), machines (class 7, US$233m), electronics and software (class 9, US$221m), coffee, tea, bakery and confectionery (class 30, US$202m), vehicles (class 12, US$198m), clothing, footwear and headwear (class 25, US$169m), cosmetics and cleaning (class 3, US$84m) and metal goods (class 6, US$56m).
Sudan's exports of goods came to US$3.1bn in 2024. Its 7 largest exports were live sheep and goats (US$727m, 24% of its exports, #1 in the world), crude oil (US$680m, 22% of its exports, #47 in the world), oil seeds (US$574m, 19% of its exports, #3 in the world), groundnuts (US$343m, 11% of its exports, #6 in the world), dried pulses (US$207m, 7% of its exports, #16 in the world), lac (US$180m, 6% of its exports, #2 in the world) and animals (US$107m, 4% of its exports, #4 in the world). Where goods are made and exported, copies are often made too: a registered trademark there lets you act against counterfeits at the source, including with the help of customs.
