Trademark Management in Saudi Arabia: Protecting Your Intellectual Property
Saudi Arabia has a well-established and modern legal framework for trademark protection, governed by the GCC Trademark Law and administered by the Saudi Authority for Intellectual Property (SAIP). As part of the Gulf Cooperation Council, Saudi Arabia offers brand owners robust protection, but the process requires strict compliance with formalities, deadlines, and local regulations.
For both domestic and foreign companies, effective trademark management in Saudi Arabia is essential to maintain rights, prevent legal issues, and defend against potential infringements.
