Uganda: Amendment of trade mark regulations 

# Uganda: Amendment of trade mark regulations

Sumeet
- 14 May 2021

Uganda’s trade mark regulations have been amended* and owners should note the following:

**Trade mark agents:** Registration is now required and agents will need to renew their registration every year. A list of registered agents will appear on the Registry website.

**Applicants’ Addresses:** These must in future include an email address, a telephone number and a postal code.

**Searches:** These must now be requested on an official form, a TM 27, and a fee will be payable. Previously, a search could be requested by letter.

**Classification:** In future, this will be in accordance with *‘the current edition*’ of the International Classification of Goods and Services (Nice Agreement). Until now there has been a specific reference to the 9th edition of the International Classification.

**Publication: **Publication of an application will no longer be confined to the Gazette. Publication may now be in the Gazette ‘*or other media as the Registrar may direct.*’ The authorities have already announced that the Uganda Registration Service Bureau IP Journal is considered authorised *‘other media’.*

**Extensions of time:** There is now a statutory form, the TM42A, and an official fee is payable.

**Trademarks Regulations No 58 of 2012, which were passed under the Trademarks Act 17 of 2000.*
