Registering a trademark in the GCC costs from about US$442 (Oman) to about US$1,770 (UAE and Saudi Arabia) in official fees per class, from filing to registration. Each of the six GCC states registers trademarks nationally, so a brand needs a separate filing in every GCC country where it trades.
Last checked: October 2026. Official government fees only, per class. Figures come from LP Global’s country guides and are reviewed by our attorneys.
Key findings
- Lowest official fees: Oman, OMR 170 per class (about US$442).
- Highest official fees: the United Arab Emirates (AED 6,500) and Saudi Arabia (SAR 6,640), about US$1,770 per class each.
- All six GCC states, one class: about US$7,958 in official fees combined.
- Fastest typical timeline: Kuwait, 4–6 months. Longest: Oman, 10–12 months.
- One class per application in Kuwait, Oman and Saudi Arabia, so multi-class protection means multiple filings.

How to read this index
- Official fees only. Figures cover government filing, publication and registration fees per class. They exclude attorney fees, translation, and notarisation or legalisation of the power of attorney.
- Currency. US dollar figures are approximate. The UAE dirham, Saudi riyal, Qatari riyal, Bahraini dinar and Omani rial are pegged to the US dollar; the Kuwaiti dinar is linked to a currency basket, so its USD figure moves slightly.
- Timelines assume no objections or oppositions.
- Validity. A registration lasts 10 years in every GCC state (10 Hijri years in Saudi Arabia) and can be renewed indefinitely.
- Trademark offices and filing requirements for each country are in the linked country guides.
- “Contact us” marks details we confirm case by case. Ask us for current figures.
- Updates. Official fees change. We re-check this index twice a year; always confirm current fees before filing.
