Preliminary Search

What is a preliminary trademark search?
A comprehensive examination verifying trademark availability and likelihood of acceptance before official filing. Before spending time and money registering, we first check whether your mark is available and likely to be accepted — because filing without a search is the most common and costly mistake in this field.
Why must a search be done before registration?
A preliminary search helps avoid rejection and conflicts with registered marks, saving time and cost. Many applications are rejected for slight similarity with an existing mark — losing filing fees, time, and potentially allowing a competitor to register first.
How long does the preliminary search take?
We deliver search results as quickly as possible so protection isn't delayed. Contact us now and start immediately. First consultation is free, with no commitment.

Trademark Registration

What are the requirements for trademark registration in Saudi Arabia?
The trademark image, translation of any foreign phrases, and official documents. We handle preparing everything correctly the first time.
What conditions must a trademark meet for acceptance?
Your mark must be unique, distinctive, and not similar to any registered mark. Many applications are rejected for this reason, which is why we start by analyzing your mark before any step to ensure acceptance.

The application is prepared within 24 hours of requirement receipt. Official examination can reach 60 days. We monitor every stage and notify you of any updates as they occur.
How much does trademark registration cost?
Cost varies by number of classes and target country. Contact us for a detailed quote.
Can a trademark containing a .com domain be registered?
Yes, provided you prove the domain is in your name — a detail many overlook, causing rejection. We prepare these documents precisely.
Can a trademark be registered in an individual's name?

International Registration

How is a trademark registered internationally?
We file in target countries and follow all procedures through to certificate issuance.
In which countries can a trademark be registered?
We cover most countries worldwide. If considering expansion, it's best to register before entering a market — some companies were surprised by competitors registering their name first. Tell us your target markets and we'll plan accordingly.
Does international registration differ from local?
Yes. Each country has its own systems, classes, and fees — exactly why many make costly mistakes filing alone. We handle these complexities in full.

Trademark Renewal

How often must a trademark be renewed?
Every 10 years. Many forget — and forgetting renewal can mean losing the mark your brand identity is built on. We provide advance alerts and full follow-up so nothing slips.
What happens if a trademark isn't renewed on time?
You may lose legal protection on your mark, making it available to others — meaning loss of the name everything was built on. We track renewals on your behalf and act before any deadline.

Oppositions

What is the trademark opposition service?
Legal protection for your innovation — preventing anyone from stealing your idea or using it without permission. We file oppositions against conflicting marks, or respond to oppositions filed against you.
Can an opposition be filed after the official deadline?
Usually no, but exceptions exist depending on the case. Contact us to learn your options.
How long do opposition proceedings take?
Duration varies by case complexity — but we handle all procedures and keep you informed at every stage.

IP Portfolio Management

What is an IP portfolio?
Everything you own in intellectual assets — trademarks, patents, designs, copyrights. These may be the most valuable thing your company owns, and neglecting management is a real loss.
Who needs portfolio management service?
Companies with multiple marks or patents in several markets needing organized asset management.

Industrial Designs

What are industrial designs?
The decorative and aesthetic aspects of products — furniture, fashion, electronics — that distinguish a product and enhance its appeal. Registration prevents competitors from copying your design. Your product's appearance deserves protection just like your name.
How long does industrial design protection last?
10 years, renewable — enough to cement your visual identity in the market. We track renewal dates so protection never lapses.
What's the difference between industrial design and patent?
Design protects how your product looks; patent protects how it works. An innovative product with distinctive design may need both — we advise on what fits your situation.
