Why the DR Congo asks for a legalised trademark registration certificate
The Indian trademark registration certificate proves your ownership of a brand. Trademark offices, customs and marketplaces abroad ask for it for priority claims, licence recordals, distributor registration and anti-counterfeit action. The trademark registration certificate is issued by the Trade Marks Registry of India.
Tender authorities and importers in Africa frequently ask Indian suppliers for legalised licences and registration certificates.
In the DR Congo, a legalised trademark registration certificate is typically requested for trademark filing and priority claims; it is also used for recording licences and distributors and customs and anti-counterfeit enforcement.
A trademark registration certificate issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the Embassy of the DR Congo in New Delhi.
