Trademark administration in Oman is supervised by the Ministry of Commerce, Industry & Investment Promotion (MOCIIP). Oman follows the GCC Trademark Law and the NICE Classification for goods and services. The Registry operates through an online filing system and maintains a clear, single-stage examination process. All filings, publications, oppositions, and registrations are processed electronically through the MOCIIP portal. Looking to register your trademark in Oman? Legacy Partners Global handles the entire process – from clearance search to registration certificate.
Oman's trademark framework is governed by the Industrial Property Law (Royal Decree No. 67/2008) and is fully aligned with the GCC Unified Trademark Law, the same regional legal foundation that supports trademark registration in UAE and across other Gulf Cooperation Council member states. Oman follows a first-to-file system, which means trademark rights are established through registration rather than prior use, making early filing a critical step for any business operating in the Sultanate. As a member of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and a signatory to the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property, Oman accepts international priority claims from earlier filings in member countries within a six-month window. However, since Oman has not acceded to the Madrid Protocol, all trademark applications must be filed directly with the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion (MOCIIP) through a locally authorized trademark agent. Legacy Partners Global (LP Global) supports businesses of all sizes through every stage of the Oman trademark registration process, from initial trademark search and application filing to gazette publication, opposition handling, and issuance of the official Registration Certificate.

Registering a trademark in Oman requires navigating MOCIIP's portal, preparing Arabic-language documentation, and managing a 10–12 month process - all while ensuring your brand is fully protected under Oman's first-to-file system. Legacy Partners Global takes care of every step, so you don't have to. Here is what sets us apart:
Oman's first-to-file system means every day without a registered trademark is a day a competitor can claim your brand.
Here is the step-by-step process followed for trademark registration in Oman.
The application is submitted through the MOCIIP online portal with the required details, including the trademark representation, applicant information, and the list of goods/services as per the NICE Classification. Oman requires single-class filing and a separate application must be filed for each class. Once filed, the application receives an official filing number.
The Registry conducts a combined formal and substantive examination, reviewing the completeness of details, distinctiveness, compliance with GCC Trademark Law, and potential conflicts with earlier marks. If any issues are identified, an official action is issued to the applicant.
If the application clears examination without objections, the mark is formally accepted and, upon payment of publication fees, the mark gets published in the Oman Official Gazette for public review and potential opposition.
Once published, third parties have a statutory 60-day period to file an opposition. If no opposition is filed, or if any opposition is successfully resolved in favour of the applicant, the application proceeds to the registration stage
After the opposition period ends and following payment of the registration fee, MOCIIP issues the official Trademark Registration Certificate
