Understanding Intellectual Property Law in Egypt

  • Copyrights – Protects literary, artistic, and scientific works.
  • Trademarks – Safeguards brand names, logos, and slogans.
  • Patents – Grants exclusive rights to inventors for novel inventions.
  • Industrial Designs and Trade Secrets – Ensures legal protection for unique product designs and confidential business information.

Why Intellectual Property Protection Matters?

Registering and enforcing your intellectual property rights in Egypt can prevent unauthorized use, counterfeiting, and infringement. Key benefits include:

  • Exclusive Rights: Prevents others from copying or profiting from your creations.
  • Legal Enforcement: Enables you to take legal action against infringers.
  • Business Value Enhancement: Increases the commercial value of your assets.
  • Market Competitiveness: Strengthens brand reputation and credibility.

Copyrights in Egypt are automatically granted upon creation; however, registration at the Egyptian Copyright Office provides stronger legal proof of ownership. Protection lasts for the lifetime of the author plus 50 years.

  • Final registration and issuance of a trademark certificate.
