COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions About IP Law in Kenya

Answers to the most common questions about intellectual property protection in Kenya.

How do I register a trademark in Kenya?

To register a trademark in Kenya, you must file an application with the Kenya Industrial Property Institute (KIPI). The process includes a trademark search, filing your application, examination, publication in the Kenya Gazette, and final registration. IP Quail manages this entire process on your behalf.

What is the difference between a trademark and a patent in Kenya?

A trademark protects brand identifiers: names, logos, and slogans, while a patent protects inventions and innovations. Trademarks in Kenya are registered with KIPI, and copyright is administered by KECOBO. IPQuail helps businesses protect both their brand identity and their inventions.

Does Kenya have a Data Protection Act?

Yes. The Kenya Data Protection Act (2019) regulates how businesses collect and process personal data. It established the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (ODPC). IPQuail provides comprehensive Kenya Data Protection Act compliance services.

How much does trademark registration cost in Kenya?

The cost of trademark registration in Kenya includes official KIPI government fees plus professional legal fees. Costs vary based on the number of classes of goods or services you are filing in. Contact IPQuail for a transparent, no-obligation quote.

Can IP Quail help with patent and IP filings outside Kenya?
