Eswatini: registering a trademark costs an estimated US$324 for one class, plus US$30 for each further class. Eswatini is a member of the Madrid System, so a trademark can be filed with its office directly or extended to Eswatini through an international registration. It can also be protected through an ARIPO application that designates Eswatini. Eswatini is a leading import market for clothing, footwear and headwear (class 25) and cosmetics and cleaning (class 3).
Trademark protection in Eswatini can also be obtained through ARIPO: one ARIPO application that designates Eswatini and other member states. The filing figures on this page count only applications filed directly with Eswatini's own office.
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 Eswatini 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$324 for one class, from filing to registration: about US$64 in official fees and about US$261 in professional (law firm) fees. Each further class adds about US$30. Responses to office actions and oppositions are not included. These are estimates only: the actual cost depends on the law firm and the application.
