Cambodia Trademark Registration Costs and Registration Procedures

The legal basis of Cambodia trademark is Law concerning Marks, Trade Names and Acts of Unfair Competition of the Kingdom of Cambodia. Cambodia is a member of the Paris Convention and the Madrid Protocol. Cambodia adopts first-to-file basis for trademark protection. A trademark registration is valid for 10 years from the date of application and could be renewed for 10 years before the expiry date.

Example 1: One mark one class
If you want to have your trademark "ABC" registered in Class 25 (clothing, footwear, headgear), that is, one mark one class, the total fees for trademark pre-filing search, registration request and certificate are:

Pre-filing search: USD220
Request for registration: USD600
Final registration/Certificate: USD200
TOTAL: USD1,020

Example 2: One mark two classes
If you want to have your trademark "ABC" registered in Class 25 (clothing, footwear, headgear) and Class 26 (lace and embroidery, ribbons and braid; buttons, hooks and eyes, pins and needles; artificial flowers), that is, one mark two classes, the total fees for trademark pre-filing search, registration request and certificate are:

Pre-filing search: 220 + 220 = USD440
Request for registration: 600 + 600 = USD1,200
Final registration/Certificate: 200 + 200 = USD400
TOTAL: USD2,040

Example 3: Two marks one class
If you want to have your trademarks "ABC" and "DEF" registered in Class 25 (clothing, footwear, headgear), that is, two marks one class, the total fees for trademark pre-filing searches, registration requests and certificates are:

Pre-filing searches: 220 + 220 = USD440
Request for registrations: 600 + 600 = USD1,200
Final registrations/Certificates: 200 + 200 = USD400
TOTAL: USD2,040

The costs illustrated in the examples above are based on the assumption of a smooth application, that is, no objection being raised by the D/IPR or any other third party. Also, the costs stated above exclude courier charges for sending the Power of Attorney, delivery of Certificate of Registration upon acceptance of registration and translation fees.

It is further assumed that the number of items of products included in each class is no more than 20. Each additional item after the first 20 is charged at a fee of USD10.

Currently it takes around 5 - 7 months to get a trademark registered in Cambodia in a smooth case.

Our fees for each stage of an application are to be invoiced and settled before the commencement of each stage of service. If a China or Taiwan Value-Added Tax invoice is required, 7% or 5% additional charge will be incurred.

No refund of fees will be made after the commencement of services. For example, if we have conducted a pre-filing search and found an identical mark is already in the register, the application will not be proceeded, the fees for pre-filing search will not be refunded. If we have already filed an application and the application is objected by the D/IPR or any other party or refused, there will not be any refunded of fees

In case you have paid our fees for all three stages of an application and the search result indicates that an identical mark is already in the register, the application will not be proceeded. The fees for services not performed, i.e., filing for application and issuing of certificate of registration will be refunded, after deducting bank wiring charge.
