Trademark Services – Protecting the Face of Your Business

Your trademark is the name, logo, or sign that sets you apart from competitors. We make sure it’s properly protected so others can’t misuse it.

Here’s how we can help:

  • Trademark Searches – Before you invest in a new name or logo, we check if it’s available in Tanzania, Zanzibar, and regional systems like ARIPO and OAPI.
  • Trademark Registration – We prepare and file everything for you, making the process smooth and stress-free.
  • Trademark Maintenance – We handle renewals and changes in ownership, so your protection never lapses.
  • Trademark Enforcement – If someone tries to copy or misuse your brand, we step in to stop it — from negotiations to legal action.

With us, your brand identity stays safe, strong, and legally protected.

Patent Services – Safeguarding Your Innovations

If you’ve invented something new, you deserve recognition and control over it. That’s where patents come in. We help you secure exclusive rights so others can’t use your invention without permission.

Our patent services include:

  • Patent Searches & Advice – Checking if your invention is new and eligible for patent protection.
  • Patent Applications – Drafting and filing strong applications in Tanzania, across Africa, and internationally.
  • Patent Management – Handling annual fees and office requirements to keep your rights valid.
  • Licensing & Transfers – Helping you safely license or transfer your patent to others.
  • Patent Disputes – Standing by your side if someone infringes on your invention.

With our support, you can innovate freely, knowing your ideas are protected.

At NexTMark Attorneys, we combine deep knowledge of African IP laws with a client-first approach. We explain the process in clear terms, guide you step by step, and deliver cost-effective solutions that actually work.

Your brand. Your ideas. Your future. Protected with NexTMark.
