At present, the Moroccan Industrial and Commercial Property Office adopts the Nice Classification 11th edition of product and service descriptions and accepts applications for multiple categories in one form. The elements of a trademark that can be registered in Morocco include: text, name, graphics, slogan, commercial appearance/decoration, hologram, color or color shadow combination, three-dimensional identification, sound, smell, etc.

If the applicant does not reside in Morocco, they must entrust a specialized agent in their home country to handle the matter. The basic materials required for trademark application are:
1. Trademark design;
2. Specific categories and product/service items;
3. Name and address of the applicant;
4. The power of attorney must be signed and stamped;
5.If priority is declared, proof of priority must be provided.

The main process for applying for registration of a Moroccan trademark is: application, acceptance, examination (absolute reasons), announcement, approval, and issuance of a certificate. The decision on whether to accept the application will be made 3-4 weeks after submission. The examiner will conduct formal and substantive examinations on the application. Formal review mainly examines whether the application requirements and classification information comply with regulations; The substantive examination includes the examination of the distinctiveness of the trademark and whether it violates the prohibition and prohibition clauses. After the review is approved, a public announcement will be arranged, with a 2-month objection period from the announcement date. Any interested party or prior rights holder may raise objections, and the main reasons for raising objections are:
1. Conflict with prior trademarks, such as owning a prior registered trademark;
2. The trademark lacks distinctiveness;
3. The trademark has adverse effects;
4. Malicious registration;
5. Conflict with other prior rights, such as trade name rights, design rights, copyrights, personal names, etc;
6. The slogan trademark lacks originality.

If there are no objections or objections are not valid during the announcement period, the registration can be approved and a registration certificate can be issued; If the review fails, a rejection notice will be issued and the applicant will be required to respond within the time limit specified in the rejection notice. In a smooth situation, trademark registration in Morocco takes 6-10 months; If things don't go smoothly and there are objections or rejections along the way, the time will be greatly extended, possibly taking 1-2 years.
