 Provisional Commercial Code of Eritrea and Provisional Civil Code of Eritrea of 1993 (Extracts relating to intellectual property rights)

Intellectual property rights; namely Trade Mark, Patent, Industrial Design and Copy Right have developed in recent few decades as a result of innovations which are crucial to the development of the globe. Thus, the Eritrean legal system doesn’t fully cover all aspects of the intangible rights, as such; these rights were not fully protected against infringements as compared to the protection accorded to intellectual property right holders by the Convention. Nonetheless, in section three of the Commercial Code of Eritrea Articles 135- Articles 138 deal with Trade Name. Section 4 Articles 140 and 141 Trade Mark is defined as distinguishing Mark and provides protection to such a mark. It also prohibits unfair trade practice.

Recently, the Ministry of Justice has drafted new laws (Commercial Code, Civil Code, Penal Code Civil and Criminal Procedure Codes and Law of Evidence). These drafted Codes are expected to address and solve new legal concepts as well as Eritrea’s international obligations. Therefore, though it is too early to site provisions from the drafted Codes, chapters have been devoted to address the issue of Intellectual Property Rights compatible to the commitments of WASPO member States.

Below are some Important Provisions of the Provisional Commercial and Civil Codes of Eritrea which are in force since the independence:
