Question 2

Why and How Should I register a Trademark in Saudi Arabia?

Accepted Answer

Registering your trademark in Saudi Arabia gives you enforceable rights in **one of the fastest-growing markets in the region**. It helps prevent imitation, protects your commercial identity, strengthens licensing opportunities, and increases long-term brand value.

In Saudi Arabia, it is especially important to register because trademark rights are granted on a **“first-to-file” basis**. In practice, this means that only the person or company who files first is normally recognized as the owner, and protection for unregistered marks exists only in very exceptional cases.

To register a trademark in Saudi Arabia, you will generally need:

Original Power of Attorney, signed, notarized, and legalized by Apostille or before the Consulate of Saudi Arabia.
The name or logo you want to register
The applicant’s details

Your iGERENT consultant will confirm the exact requirements for your case and guide you through each step.

* Your trademark can be **renewed indefinitely** for additional periods of 10 Hegira years.
* Renewal may be requested within **12 Hegira months before** the expiration date.
* There is also a **6 Hegira-month grace period** after expiry, during which renewal is still possible by paying late fees.

Yes. If a third party applies for a trademark that is **confusingly similar** to yours for similar goods or services, you may **oppose the application**.  

Opposition actions must be filed within **three (3) months** from the date the application is **published in the official trademark gazette**. The chances of success will depend on the specific circumstances, including similarity between the marks, goods/services, and evidence supporting your prior rights.

Question 7

Is Trademark Use Required to Maintain Registration in Saudi Arabia?

Accepted Answer

Use is **not required to obtain registration** in Saudi Arabia, but it becomes important **after your trademark has been registered**. 

If a registered trademark is **not used for five (5) consecutive years**, it may become vulnerable to **cancellation actions for non-use** filed by third parties. To prevent this risk, the trademark should be used **on a commercial scale** for the goods or services covered by the registration. 

In certain cases, **lack of use may be justified**, and such justification can be raised as a defense in a cancellation proceeding.

If use or proof of use ever becomes relevant in your case, your iGERENT consultant will explain exactly what documents or evidence are needed and help you prepare and present them correctly before the Saudi authorities.
