Sudan Trademark Office restarts trademark registration business

The General Registration Directorate of Intellectual Property (RGIP) of the Sudanese Ministry of Justice has issued a notice on the resumption of its trademark activities. RGIP will resume processing trademark registration applications from February 11, 2024.

Due to the unstable situation in the capital Khartoum, the Regional Policy Group office has temporarily moved to the coastal city of Port Sudan. The RGIP temporary office will currently only accept new applications, renewals, transfers, mergers, and changes in name and/or address for trademark registration. The RGIP temporary office will implement online registration and paperless procedures, and all documents and supporting documents must be sent through an email address specially set up for this purpose.
