Trademark Management in Bahrain: Protecting Your Intellectual Property
Trademark protection in Bahrain is governed by Law No. 6 of 2014 and is administered by the Industrial Property Office under the Ministry of Industry and Commerce.

For foreign and domestic rights holders alike, effective trademark management in Bahrain is essential to ensure brand protection, avoid legal disputes, and maintain compliance with regulatory requirements. Liesegang & Partner offers reliable and efficient trademark management services tailored to the legal environment in Bahrain.
