Trademark Registration in Saudi Arabia
A trademark is a brand’s signature. It can be any symbol, logo, icon, word, phrase, design, or a combination of the things which helps identify an enterprise’s products/services from other products/services. Products and services are divided into 45 classes according to the NICE (International Classification of Goods and Services) classification agreement established in 1957 which is adopted Saudi Arabia. Each class represents a certain type of product or service by which there are 34 classes for goods and 11 classes for services. Classification of products and services is important to create a guideline for each product and service to be followed and protects your trademark from possible future infringement.

How To register your trademark in Saudi Arabia?

The main steps of the registration process
Pre-filing trademark research
In order to register a trademark, it must be unique and distinctive, and the only way to achieve that is by searching for similar trademarks in the Trademark Registry for a fee. What you thought was a new and unique idea for a trademark may turn out to be registered already by a different person or enterprise.
Filing an application
Once the research is complete, and no similar trademarks are found, an application to register the trademark is submitted to the competent department in the Saudi Authority for Intellectual Property (SAIP) Ministry of Commerce online for a fee, by which the auditor reviews the documents and ensures their validity, the validity of their data and priority files if availableny. It is also important to note that a power of attorney document must be presented along with the application for registering a trademark.
