Tunisia: registering a trademark costs an estimated US$960 for one class, plus US$120 for each further class. Tunisia is a member of the Madrid System, so a trademark can be filed with its office directly or extended to Tunisia through an international registration. Tunisia is a leading import market for rubber and plastics (class 17) and electronics and software (class 9). It is also one of the world's leading exporters of olive oil.
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 Tunisia 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$960 for one class, from filing to registration: about US$160 in official fees and about US$800 in professional (law firm) fees. Each further class adds about US$120. Responses to office actions and oppositions are not included. These are estimates only: the actual cost depends on the law firm and the application.
