What are the main responsibilities of an Intellectual Property Lawyer in Morocco?

Intellectual Property Lawyers in Morocco handle several key responsibilities:

The Moroccan Office of Industrial and Commercial Property (OMPIC) is located in Casablanca at Route de Nouasseur, R.S 114 Km 9,5 Sidi Maarouf, B.P. 8072. This is the central office where trademark registration in Morocco is processed. OMPIC also maintains regional offices in other major cities including Rabat, Tangier, Fes, Marrakech, and Agadir to facilitate access to IP services throughout the country.

Patent protection in Morocco lasts for 20 years from the filing date of the application. This duration cannot be extended beyond the 20-year term. To maintain the patent rights throughout this period, the patent owner must pay annual maintenance fees to OMPIC. If these fees are not paid, the patent rights will lapse, and the invention will enter the public domain in Morocco.
