Trademark registration in Mauritius is a procedure that allows businesses and entrepreneurs like you to establish a strong brand identity in the consumer market.
The country follows a first-to-file approach, meaning individuals or corporations who are first to apply for the registration will get an advantage over those who use it first in the trade.
Mauritius currently doesn’t provide a complete online filing. However, with Corpbiz’s assistance, you connect with a local agent and TM attorney who will help you search the IPO’s database and apply for trademark registration in Mauritius.
Our seasoned consultants at Corpbiz will also provide compliance support, including TM renewal, application for modification/changes in the registered mark, and filing annual returns.
A trademark is a word, logo, letter, number, slogan, or 3D mark that is used by entrepreneurs and startups to help customers identify their products/or services.
It provides legal security, eliminating and reducing the chances of unauthorized and illegal use of your registered brand.
Apart from distinct brands’ identity and diverse consumer market, there are several other benefits of Mauritius trademark registration as explained below:
Mauritius joined the Madrid System in 2023. The country’s accession to the protocol will help business owners to extend their brand in the international market via a single filing in over 120+ countries. It is one of the key benefits of Mauritius trademark registration.
With trademark registration in Mauritius, you’re entitled to file lawsuits and enforce your exclusive rights to your trademark if someone violates your registered brand.

Any such authorized use can cause infringement and give you the right to claim monetary damages.
