The Importance of Trademark Registration in Oman
Your trademark is the face of your business. It reveals your reputation, principles, and individuality. You can use your name, logo, slogan, or design in Oman if you register a trademark there. In addition, it enables you to file a lawsuit against illegal use, fake goods, and brand imitation. Beyond protection, trademark registration enhances your business image, boosts customer confidence, and adds value to your brand. A re-registered trademark in an increasingly digital economy supports online brand enforcement and international expansion.
Trademark Assignment Recordal in Kuwait
In Kuwait, it is possible to record the trademark assignments after the registration procedure. This must be recorded in the register for it to be effective against third parties. It is mentioned there but not in the Gazette but in the holder’s certificate. Brand owners can also use it to record changes to the name, address, or the trademark itself. However, Kuwait does not allow trademark licenses or registered users to be recorded.
