Trademark Registration in Seychelles
Seychelles national trade-mark application with the Registrar General under the Industrial Property Act 2014 (Act 7 of 2014). This is a true national filing taking effect from the date of application — not a re-registration of a UK or other foreign mark — and Seychelles has been an ARIPO member state since 2022. Processing is commonly stated to run about 8–12 months. Protection is understood to run 10 years from the application date, renewable for successive 10-year periods.
