Trademark registration and IP in Saudi Arabia

A trademark, name, logo, content, design or invention can be worth more than a business's physical assets. Protection starts with registration and continues with watching for infringement.

Usus Law Firm helps entrepreneurs and companies, local and foreign, register trademarks with the Saudi Authority for Intellectual Property, oppose similar marks, protect copyright and software, draft licences and assignments, and act against infringement.

IP services

  • Trademark registration: clearance search, filing and follow-up to certificate.
  • Oppositions and grievances: opposing similar marks and challenging refusals.
  • Copyright: content, software, designs and artistic works.
  • Licences and assignments: licensing use of a mark or content, or transferring ownership.
  • Infringement: stopping infringement and claiming compensation.

Worth knowing

A registered trademark protects for ten years and can be renewed. A trade name in the Commercial Registration is not the same as a registered trademark; they are separate protections.
