| Can be struck off for non-use | Use of Trade Marks in Egypt is not compulsory for filing applications for registration, nor for maintaining Trade Mark Registrations in force. However, a Trade Mark Registration is vulnerable to cancellation on the strength of a court decision obtained to this effect by any interested party. A cancellation action relies basically on establishing sufficient grounds that the Trade Mark in question has not actually been used seriously for a period of five consecutive years. |
