Declaration of Use for International Registrations Required


Holders of international registrations containing a designation of Cambodia must file declarations of actual use of the mark with evidence to that effect. Such declarations must be filed directly with the Office of Cambodia, as prescribed by the applicable laws and regulations and upon payment of a fee:

- Within a one-year period, following five years counted from the date on which protection was granted in Cambodia, as indicated in the statement sent by the Office of Cambodia to the International Bureau of WIPO under either Rule 18ter(1) or (2) of the Common Regulations under the Madrid Agreement Concerning the International Registration of Marks and the Protocol Relating to that Agreement; and
- Within a one-year period, following five years counted from the date of each renewal of the international registration.

Alternately, a declaration of non-use of the mark, stating the valid grounds, under the laws of Cambodia, can be filed with the Office of Cambodia. This declaration must be submitted by the holder’s authorized representative with a local address or by a legal representative in Cambodia. A local address is required for purposes of notification.

Failure to file declarations of either actual use or non-use of the mark will prompt the Office of Cambodia to declare, ex officio, that the mark is no longer protected.
