The order of trademark application in Morocco is as follows: 

1. Examination – All applications are examined according to:
   • Compliance to requirements
   • Classification of goods/services
   • Descriptiveness
   • Capability of the mark to be represented graphically
   • Deceptiveness
   • Conflict with earlier registrations
2. Publication – Information about the trademark application will be posted online and will be published in the Trademark Gazette. This will allow the public to oppose if needed.
   • Mark
   • Applicant’s name
   • Application number
   • Application date

3. Registration – Once the examiners approved the mark and there are no oppositions after the publication or the oppositions are dismissed, the trademark office will grant the registration certificate
