Change of Practice


The Trademarks Registry has issued a notification that Art. 10 of the IP Code for verification of applications will be taken seriously. Applications, renewals and so forth shall be submitted simultaneously with the Power of Attorney from now onwards in order to avoid constraints.

Article 10 of the IP Code, which is in force in Mozambique states:

1. When an application is filed, the officers in charge of receiving the documents shall verify that the applications are correctly addressed, that they are duly signed, that the correct amount of fees is being paid and that all documents referred to in the application are attached thereto.
2. Notification shall be given of any omissions found subsequently.
3. The applicant shall have 15 days from the date of the notification within which to supply the missing or incorrect information.
4. If the provision of the preceding paragraph is not observed, the applicant will be considered to have surrendered the application.
