HOW IT WORKS
Below are the steps, once we receive the required documents.
We will apply on your behalf, requesting for the initial search for the targeted trademark registration.
Application is submitted to the concerned authorities requesting for initial search for the targeted Trademark.
If the search result is negative, it means that the Trademark is registered by none.
Further, we will deposit the documents along with an application for your Trademark registration.
After the deposition and application, the trademark will be examined by the concerned authorities.
The result of the examination will be announced in 6-9 months approximately.
If there isn’t any opposition made by third parties, the complete payment of fees should be made in a month’s time. Confirming to that, you will receive a certificate of Trademark registration from the authorities.In case of oppositions raised by third parties, the applicant has a month’s time to file an appeal. This shall be discussed in detail during the process.
Trademarks Entitled for Registration
A trademark is a symbol, word, or words that are legally registered or established by use as representing a company or product. A trademark can be a name, word, signature, letter, figure, drawing, symbol, title, tax stamp, seal, image, inscription, advertisement, pack, or any other combination that is intended to be used for the same commercial purpose.
Trademark Registration Validity
A trademark registration is valid for 10 years, and the registration can be renewed for the same period. The renewal fees of a trademark registration are paid during the final year of the protection period.
Trademark Registration process
A trademark application needs to be filled out with the Registrar office. If the Registrar accepts the application, it will be published in the Trademark Journal as well as two daily Arabic newspapers. Any interested party may file a notice of opposition to the registered trademark within 30 days from the date of any publication. The Registrar’s decision about the opposition may be appealed to the ministry’s committee and the committee’s decision may be appealed to the competent court. In case if no opposition is lodged within the time limit above, a trademark is registered and a certificate of registration is issued.
Trademark Registration Renewal
For late renewals, a period of 3 months is allowed with a fine. The renewal is also published in the Trademark Journal as well as two other daily local Arabic publications. The ownership of a registered trademark can be assigned with or without the goodwill of the commercial enterprise. However, the assignment shall have no effect vis-à-vis third parties unless recorded in the register and published in the Trademark Journal.
