Who Can Apply For Saudi Trademark Registration?
Both local and foreign entities, as well as individuals and companies, can apply for trademark registration in Saudi Arabia. However, foreign applicants must appoint a local agent, such as Helpline International, to handle the application process and liaise with the Saudi Authority for Intellectual Property (SAIP).
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.

Registration of Trademark Process in Saudi Arabia
Helpline International assists in completing every step of this structured process:
1. Trademark Search (Optional but Recommended)
Before submission, it is advisable to perform a search to confirm the trademark is not already registered in the intended class.
2. Filing the Application
Applications must be submitted. After account creation, the application form is completed, the documents are uploaded, and the initial filing fee must be paid.
3. Formal Examination
SAIP examines the application to check compliance. If accepted, the trademark is moved to the next stage. If rejected, the applicant may respond or appeal the decision.
4. Publication in the Official Gazette
The SAIP website announces accepted applications, starting a 60-day opposition phase during which outside parties may voice their concerns.
5. Opposition Handling
Both parties argue if an opposition is lodged. After reviewing, SAIP decides. The procedure proceeds if there is no resistance.
6. Issuance of Trademark Certificate
Following a successful review or resolution of opposition, SAIP issues the Trademark Registration Certificate, confirming exclusive rights in Saudi Arabia.
Duration and Renewal
Trademark registration in Saudi Arabia is valid for 10 years from the date of filing. Renewal must be completed at least six months before expiration or within a specified grace period.
