About This Service

Your brand is one of your most valuable business assets and in Kenya's fast-growing fashion and creative economy, protecting it legally is not optional. Trademark registration with KIPI gives you the exclusive legal right to use your brand name and logo for your specific goods and services across Kenya, and the legal standing to stop anyone who copies or imitates it.

This service is offered at a significantly subsidised rate as part of FLI Africa's commitment to making intellectual property protection genuinely accessible to Africa's fashion creatives and entrepreneurs.

The prevailing market rate for trademark registration in Kenya through commercial providers is $1,405. FLI Africa offers this service at $900, saving you $505, or over ₦800,000 at current exchange rates.

What happens after payment: Our team will contact you within 2 working days to begin the process and collect the information and documents we need from you. The full trademark registration process in Kenya typically takes 8 – 18 months with KIPI, in line with standard registry timelines. The timeline may be longer if opposition is filed during the 60-day publication window.

What you will need to provide:

• Your full legal name or registered company name
• Your address and nationality
• A clear image of your trademark — word mark, logo, or combined mark
• The goods or services your trademark covers and the relevant Nice class
• Any existing trademark registrations you hold in other countries (if applicable)

Additional classes: This listing covers one trademark class. If your brand requires registration in more than one class, please email us before purchasing so we can provide an accurate quote.
