A registered trademark is only as strong as the action behind it. We register, monitor, and challenge marks before the Saudi Authority for Intellectual Property (SAIP) and the commercial courts, for owners protecting a brand and for parties challenging a mark that blocks them.
More marks on the register means more chances for a confusingly similar mark to be filed near yours. The earlier a conflict is caught, the cheaper and cleaner it is to act on.
We clear, file, and prosecute trademark applications before SAIP, from a search of what is already on the register through to a granted mark. The aim is a registration that holds up if it is ever tested.
We watch the register and new filings for marks that conflict with yours, so a similar application does not slip through before you can object. You hear about a problem while there is still time to act on it.
When a registered mark breaches the Law, or has sat unused, we move to strike it (cancellation under arts. 22 to 26 of the GCC Trademark Law, or non-use cancellation under art. 24). We build the case on the evidence Saudi courts actually accept.
When someone registered a mark over a brand you used first in Saudi Arabia, we ask the commercial court to cancel it (revocation for prior use under art. 7(2) of the GCC Trademark Law), provided you act within five years of that registration.
Send us the mark and the problem. We tell you whether there is something to act on before any cost is committed.
We set the route, registration, monitoring, or a challenge, with the steps, the timeline, and any deadline that applies to your situation.
We prepare and file before SAIP or the competent court, and carry the matter through prosecution or the hearings.
On a result, we handle what follows, the recordal, the renewal, or the enforcement, and keep the mark protected.
Led by a licensed Saudi lawyer, the practice pairs registration work with real courtroom experience in trademark disputes. The advice you get before you file is grounded in how these cases are decided, not in generic legal copy.
A Saudi licensed practice acting before SAIP and the commercial courts.
We act across the life of a trademark: registration and monitoring before SAIP, and cancellation, revocation, and infringement work before the commercial courts. What we commit to is the professional skill and care we bring to your matter, not a guaranteed result.
Cancellation strikes a mark whose registration breaches the Law (arts. 22 to 26). Revocation for prior use cancels a mark that was registered over a brand someone else used first (art. 7(2)). The two require different evidence.
A revocation for prior use must be filed within five years of the challenged registration date. Most cancellation grounds under arts. 22 to 26 have no fixed window, but the facts can still erode over time.
The registered owner. The petitioner pleads non-use. The burden of proving genuine use within the five-year period sits with the owner of the mark.
Damages for infringement are available under art. 41 and can be combined with a cancellation or revocation claim, but they are proved on a separate evidentiary track.
Send us the mark and what you need, whether that is a registration, ongoing monitoring, or a challenge to a mark that stands in your way. We will tell you the route and whether any deadline applies.
