Trademark Registration in Palestine: Protect Your Brand Nationwide
Trademark matters in Palestine are administered by the Ministry of National Economy through the relevant intellectual property authorities in the West Bank and Gaza. Palestine follows a first-to-file system. Applications are filed before the registrar in the relevant territory and are examined for formal compliance. Accepted applications are published in the Official Gazette, and third parties may file an opposition within 3 months from publication. If no opposition is filed, or if the opposition is rejected, the mark proceeds to registration. Separate registry offices in Gaza and the West Bank maintain records under their respective applicable laws.

Here is the step-by-step process followed for trademark registration in Palestine.
Filing
Trademark applications are filed with the competent local authority, namely the Gaza Trademark Registrar in Gaza or the Ramallah office in the West Bank. The application must include the applicant’s name and address, the list of goods and services by class, a signed power of attorney, and clear copies of the trademark. In Gaza, five paper prints of the mark per class are required.
Examination
After filing, the office examines the application for compliance with the applicable legal and formal requirements.
Publication
If accepted, the trademark application is published in the Gaza IP Gazette or the relevant Palestinian Authority Bulletin.
Opposition Period
Third parties may file an opposition within 3 months from the date of publication.
Registration
If no opposition is filed, or if the opposition is resolved in favour of the applicant, the trademark proceeds to registration and a certificate is issued.
Validity & Renewal
Trademark registration is initially valid for 7 years from the date of registration. It may be renewed once for an additional 14 years. Renewal requires a simple application mentioning the trademark number and class, along with a power of attorney. In practice, renewal may be processed very quickly, particularly in Gaza.
