乌干达商标由乌干达注册服务局（Uganda Registration Services Bureau，URSB）负责审查、授予与保护。
乌干达尚不是马德里国家商标体系成员国，故乌干达商标申请应直接在URSB提交。
乌干达的商标有效期分两个阶段，初始阶段即第一次注册后，有效期是自申请日起七年。到期后，如权利人请求续展并支付费用，则此后每次续展后，商标的有效期都是十年。
申请乌干达商标，申请文件应包含拟使用的商标、商品或服务的类别、申请人姓名、地址和签名。如果申请人是一家外国公司或个人，应委托乌干达的代理人，该代理人需要是高等法院的辩护人。
URSB收到申请后，会进行审查。URSB的审查包含形式审查与实质审查，即既审查申请文件是否符合要求、是否缴纳申请官费，也审查商标是否具有可注册性、是否与在先商标构成相同或近似。
如申请符合要求，该申请将在《乌干达公报》上公布60天，此为异议期。如果异议期内无异议或异议不成立，URSB会要求申请人支付授权注册官费，申请人在支付规定的费用后，商标将被记入注册簿并下发注册证书。
需要注意，乌干达商标申请前设置检索程序，且不可避免。对于非乌干达本地申请人，商标官费以美元收取，其中检索费65美元，申请费150美元，注册授权费250美元。
Ugandan trademarks are reviewed, granted, and protected by the Uganda Registration Services Bureau (URSB).
Uganda is not yet a member of the Madrid National Trademark System, so trademark applications in Uganda should be submitted directly to the URSB.
The validity period of trademarks in Uganda is divided into two stages. The initial stage is after the first registration, and the validity period is within seven years from the date of application.
After expiration, if the right holder requests renewal and pays the fee, the validity period of the trademark will be ten years after each renewal thereafter.
Apply for a Trademark
To apply for a trademark in Uganda, the application documents should include the category of the trademark, goods or services to be used, the name, address and signature of the applicant.
If the applicant is a foreign company or individual, a representative from Uganda should be appointed, who must be a defense counsel in the High Court.
After receiving the application, URSB will conduct a review.
The examination of URSB includes both formal examination and substantive examination, that is, examining whether the application documents meet the requirements, whether the application fee has been paid, and whether the trademark has registrability and whether it constitutes the same or similar to the prior trademark.
If the application meets the requirements, it will be published in the Uganda Gazette for 60 days, which is the objection period.
If there is no objection or the objection is not established during the objection period, URSB will require the applicant to pay the authorized registration officer fee.
After the applicant pays the prescribed fee, the trademark will be recorded in the registration book and a registration certificate will be issued.
It should be noted that a search procedure is set up before applying for a trademark in Uganda, and it is inevitable.
For non local applicants from Uganda, trademark office fees are charged in US dollars, including a search fee of 65 US dollars, an application fee of 150 US dollars, and a registration authorization fee of 250 US dollars.
