Why and How to Register a Trademark in Palestine
In Palestine, trademark registration is mandatory to be granted rights over a trademark, as it is a "first to file" jurisdiction. Only in some exceptional cases can an unregistered trademark be protected. It is not necessary for a trademark to be in use in Palestine in order for it to register.
If you register a combined trademark (which includes both word elements and figurative elements) in Palestine, the exclusive right to use the trademark is limited to a use of the trademark in the exact configuration or way in which it was filed and registered. If you wish to use the word element of your trademark separately from the logo (or vice versa), it is recommended you register for another trademark including only the word or figurative elements you wish to use and protect separately.
Nevertheless, if a third party eventually intends to register or use a trademark for similar goods or services that includes a primary or distinct part or portion of your trademark, you will have the right to oppose the application based on confusing similarity.
Opposition actions may be filed by third parties against a trademark application within three (3) months after its publication in the trademark gazette. The probabilities of success for an opposition will vary in each case depending on the circumstances.
Although a trademark does not have to be in use in order for it to register, it must not go unused for periods of three years or it will become vulnerable to cancellation actions based on lack of use of the trademark. The lack of use may be excused in certain circumstances.
Registered trademarks in Palestine have a validity of seven (7) years from the application date and can be renewed indefinitely for further periods of fourteen (14) years. If the renewal is not requested before the expiration date, there is a grace period of one (1) month after the notification that the trademark has lapsed has been issued by the register during which the trademark can still be renewed, upon payment of a late renewal fee.
For trademark search reports the trademark must be in Latin alphabet and will only consider other trademarks in Latin alphabet. If you wish for a search for a trademark written in the local writing system (Arabic) and that includes results of trademarks in the local alphabet (Arabic), please contact us. Additional fees will apply.
