How to Register a Trademark in Saudi Arabia: A Complete Guide

Registering a trademark is essential to protect your business in the Saudi market. Your mark differentiates your products or services from competitors and provides legal protection against imitation or misuse.

Key Steps:

1. Ensure the mark is unique
    Search the Saudi Authority for Intellectual Property (SAIP) platform to confirm it isn’t already registered.
2. File online
    Submit the application via SAIP’s e-portal with your business details and a clear image of the mark.
3. Examination
    SAIP reviews the filing to verify compliance with the legal requirements.
4. Publication
    The mark is published in the official gazette to allow 60 days for opposition.
5. Registration certificate
    If no opposition is filed (or it’s rejected), SAIP issues a certificate valid for 10 years, renewable.

Why it matters:

• Protects your business from competitors’ copying.
• Increases your company’s intangible asset value.
• Grants you the right to take legal action against infringement.
