OLM Law Advocates LLP is pleased to be part of the Trademark Disputes Comparative Guide – Kenya Chapter, a publication by Mondaq.  In this edition covering eight jurisdictions, our partners John Maina and Kenneth Likoko authored the chapter on trademark disputes.

The Guide examines the different kinds of trademark disputes, their common causes, the procedural steps involved, and the legal remedies available in Kenya, while also providing best practices for effective trademark protection. In the competitive Kenyan business environment, safeguarding brand identity is crucial for success. As companies work to defend their logos, brand names, slogans, and intellectual property, trademark disputes have increased. Understanding the complexities of these issues—such as trademark infringement, opposition proceedings, and passing off claims under the Trademarks Act (Cap 506)—is vital. This knowledge enables businesses and individuals to better navigate the marketplace and protect their valuable intellectual property assets.

This chapter by our Intellectual Property (IP) Department provides local and international stakeholders with the essential knowledge to effectively navigate the trademark dispute landscape in Kenya.
