1. Zambia, located in the southern part of the African continent, is one of the least developed countries in the world, with slow and unstable market demand growth. Zambia has a weak industrial foundation, with industrial products mainly including textiles, cement, mineral products, building materials, wood processing, etc. Due to Zambia's weak industrial foundation, the majority of its exports are primary products. The current trademark protection laws mainly include the Trademark Law of 1965 and the Trademark Regulations of 1981.
2. Zambian trademarks are managed by the Trademark Registry and the official language is English.
3. Zambia trademark registration is based on the principle of prior use, and the trademarks that can be applied for registration include commodity trademarks, joint trademarks, certification trademarks, and defense trademarks. Currently, service trademarks cannot be applied for.
4. Zambia adopts the Nice classification for trademarks and does not accept applications for multiple categories. The elements that can be registered as trademarks include text, graphics, letters, numbers, etc.

Zambia is a contracting party to international intellectual property treaties such as the Paris Convention and the WIPO Convention, and a member of the Madrid Protocol. Therefore, trademark registration in Zambia can be obtained through either the "single country registration" or the "Madrid International Registration Designated Zambia" method.

Unlike most countries, the initial validity period of trademarks in Zambia is only 7 years, and each subsequent renewal can extend the validity period by 14 years.
