Trademark registration in Zanzibar is governed by the Zanzibar Industrial Property Act of 2008. The Zanzibar Business and Property Registration Agency (BPRA) is the government institution responsible for the trademark registry in Zanzibar.

A trademark is a name or symbol used on products that distinguishes them and cannot be legally used by another company. Trademarks are classified according to the goods or services for which they are used, following the International Classification of Goods and Services.

The procedure for filing a trademark registration in Zanzibar includes submitting a Power of Attorney, the applicant's full name and address, prints of the proposed trademark, description of goods and services, priority document, and payment of filing fees. The application is reviewed by a Trademarks Office Examiner, and the registration rights date back to the filing date.

Trademark registration in Zanzibar is valid for ten years from the application date and can be renewed indefinitely for further periods of seven years. Renewal involves payment of renewal and maintenance fees, filing a power of attorney, and ensuring the renewal application is submitted within three months before the expiry date.
