ESSENTIAL GUIDE FOR BUSINESSES IN MADAGASCAR: PROTECTING YOUR REPUTATION ON SOCIAL MEDIA

Your digital reputation is a crucial factor for growth or vulnerability. Social media amplifies your visibility but also exposes your brand to risks such as impersonation, misuse, or even counterfeiting.

🫵 Whether you are a start-up or a growing company in Madagascar, here’s how to effectively safeguard your online presence:

1️⃣ Prioritize securing your trademark rights
Before launching any digital strategy, ensure your trademark, logo, and slogan are registered with
OMAPI (Malagasy Industrial Property Office).
✅ Legal protection is the fundamental basis to enforce your rights in case of violations online,
including trademark infringement and online unfair competition.

2️⃣ Implement active monitoring and rapid response
Use digital monitoring tools to track mentions and uses of your trademark across social platforms.
✅ In case of infringement (counterfeiting, identity theft, phishing, etc.), act immediately: report offending content or accounts to platform administrators, issue takedown notices, and if necessary, initiate appropriate legal proceedings.

3️⃣ Ensure consistency and protection across platforms
Reserve and harmonize your identity (handle/username) across all major social networks, even those you are not currently using.
✅ This strategy protects your intangible assets against cybersquatting and builds consumer confidence through a consistent online presence.

LEGAL GLOSSARY_WHAT IS AN EXCLUSIVE RIGHT IN INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY ?

🧑‍⚖️ In the field of industrial property, registering a trademark, tradename, patent or design grants the holder what is legally defined as an exclusive right.

But what does this actually imply? 🤔
An exclusive right provides the legal authority to be the sole entity entitled to exploit a protected creation and to prevent any third party from using it without prior authorization. This right enables you to initiate legal proceedings against infringement, to negociate licensing, assignment or partnership agreements, and to strengthen your company's value.

💡 To protect is to hold. To hold is to have power to act.

Looking to protect your creations or develop a sound industrial property strategy in Madagascar ? Our firm can guide you, from registration to active enforcement of your rights.

DID YOU KNOW ?
INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY IS A STRATEGIC LEVER OF POWER

Industrial property serves to safeguard innovation, valorize intangible assets and drive economic competitiveness. However, such power carries a corresponding duty: to uphold and preserve the public interest.

➡️ In sensitive fields such as health, the environment and biotechnology, exclusivity must be exercised with a strong ethical framework.
Industrial property protection should not hinder equity, but rather operate within a system that balances innovation, fairness and social responsability.

📍 The future of industrial property lies in aligning performance with the pursuit of the common good.

At LEX MERCAT, we support businesses, researchers and institutions in building legal strategies that protect innovation while respecting ethical and societal values in Madagascar.

📩 Contact us to explore how industrial property can serve both your ambitions and the public interest.

PLEDGING INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY RIGHTS : A real security interest

Pledging allows a debtor to use Industrial Property rights as collateral for loan, without transferring ownership. In the event of default, the creditor may seize or liquidate the pledged right to recover the outstanding debt. This mechanism offers a promising avenue for financing innovation and unlocking the value of intangible assets, provided that it is properly regulated and promoted among financial and business stakeholders.

📍Implementation requirements :
👉 A written agreement between the creditor and the holder of industrial property right
👉 Mandatory registration with the relevant authority ( OMAPI in Madagascar) to make the pledge enforceable against third parties
👉 The pledged right must be valid and in force, an expired patents or cancelled trademarks are not eligible for pledging.
