INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Trademark Litigation & Counseling
Trademarks are the most frequently registered and enforced IP rights in Cambodia. Registration is obtained through the Department of Intellectual Property at the Ministry of Commerce under the Law on Marks, Trade Names and Acts of Unfair Competition. Cambodia’s participation in the Madrid System allows efficient international filings designating the Kingdom. We conduct clearance searches, prepare and prosecute applications (including multi-class filings), handle oppositions and cancellations, record licenses and assignments, and develop brand-protection programmers. When infringement or counterfeiting arises, we pursue civil litigation, administrative complaints and coordination with customs authorities. For brands entering the Cambodian market—especially consumer, retail and e-commerce businesses—prompt registration and vigilant enforcement are fundamental to long-term brand value.
