Trademark Office relocating its premises
The Egyptian Trademark Office has begun preparations for its planned relocation to the premises of the Egyptian General Intellectual Property Authority (“EGIPA”). While a formal report is yet to be released, the transfer of physical documents and office materials is currently in process, and the Treasury Department will be moved thereafter.
During the relocation, a temporary system outage may occur to facilitate the migration of data and servers. We anticipate that there may be some delays in the processing and issuance of official documents during this transition period. We will keep you informed of developments or official announcements regarding the move.
The new address for the Egyptian Trademark Office is 101 Kasr El Aini Street, Cairo, Egypt.
