Trademark protection in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is administered by the Saudi Authority for Intellectual Property (SAIP). SAIP operates a modern electronic filing and examination system and follows the NICE Classification for goods and services. Saudi Arabia maintains a stringent examination process and is known for its efficient timelines and strong enforcement culture. All filings, publications, and registrations are processed exclusively through the SAIP online portal.
Legal Protection
Trademark registration grants exclusive rights under Saudi trademark law, protecting your brand from imitation, misuse, and infringement.
Brand Ownership
A registered trademark proves lawful ownership of your brand name, logo, or slogan—essential in disputes and enforcement actions.
Business Credibility
Registering your trademark enhances trust among customers, partners, and investors, positioning your business as established and reliable.
Market Exclusivity
It prevents others from registering or using similar or identical marks in Saudi Arabia, safeguarding your market presence.
The KSA trademark registration system follows a structured sequence of reviews, publications, and legal checks. These steps ensure that trademarks meet all statutory requirements and remain protected over time.
The application is submitted through the SAIP online portal with the required details, including the trademark representation, applicant information and the selection of goods/services must conform exactly to the pre-defined list available on the SAIP portal as per the 12th edition of NICE classification. Saudi Arabia follows a single-class protection system and registration in any items within a class provides full legal protection for the entire class. Once filed, the application receives an official filing number.
SAIP conducts a formal examination to verify completeness and a substantive examination covering both absolute and relative grounds, including conflict checks with prior trademarks. Goods such as alcoholic beverages under Classes 32 and 33, and pork meat under Class 29, are prohibited from registration in KSA. An official examination report is typically issued within 30–90 days.
If the application clears examination without objections, the mark is formally accepted and, upon payment of publication fees, the mark gets published in the Saudi Trademark 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, SAIP issues the official Trademark Registration Certificate. The enclosed registration certificates are accredited by the Saudi Trademark Registry in its electronic form.
Trademark registration in Saudi Arabia is valid for 10 years (10 hijri years) from the filing date and can be renewed indefinitely for successive periods of 10-year terms by paying the renewal fees. Renewal applications must be filed within six months before the expiration date to maintain protection.
