The forfeiture of the mark has become misleading - Nicodème Arsène Ngoue - Bog

The legal regime of the revocation of the deceptive trademark is based on the determination of the manifestations towards the consumer of the deceptiveness applied to the trademark, with the aim of arriving at a reception from a comparative study, a general theory of the deceptive trademark in OAPI law. This will be done through the study of the raison d'être of deception in trademark law, which will lead us to the examination of the future of the revocation of the deceptive trademark. On the one hand, the examination of the rationale of deception in trademark law identifies the notion of deception and its appearance in trademark law. It is to be noted that the notion of deception is apprehended differently according to whether it is in Cameroonian law or in French law. On the other hand, the analysis of the future of the deceptive trademark has retained our attention. It deals with the particularity of the mark that has become deceptive because the term "become deceptive" supposes that the mark was true at the beginning and it is the use that has made it deceptive.
