Registration of trademark in Oman

Important stage in the organization of business is the registration of trademark as an intangible asset of the company. Especially if it occurs in a small Asian country, as, for example, in the Sultanate of Oman. The procedure for registering trademark in the country is complicated by the fact that Oman is not among the states that signed the Madrid Agreement Concerning the International Registration of Marks. Therefore, if you need to register trademark in Oman, then you will have to carry out registration through the national patent office.

The procedure of registration of trademark in Oman is considerably complicated. The entire process can range from six months to two years, and there are a number of limitations. Success can only be guaranteed with the professional assistance of our specialists.

  • Throughout the process no one else will be able to register your trademark;
  • There is the possibility of filing one application for a whole group of trademarks with insignificant differences between them.

Trademark registration process in Oman

For registering a brand name in Oman, an individual should provide its image (in electronic and printed form), certified translation into Arabic, copies of the passport and documents confirming the right to conduct activities in the country. Companies additionally need to submit constituent documents.

In addition, a power of attorney legalized in the consulate is required. Its receipt can range from 14 to 60 days. But the power of attorney, which was previously legalized in the consulate of some other Arab country, will also be relevant.

The registration of the trademark immediately begins with verification for the similarity in the national database. Then, the Ministry of Economy conducts examination of the application submitted and the notification on registration of the trademark is published. Another 30 days are allotted for filing objections by third parties. If there is no objection, you are issued a certificate for the period of 10 years.

Unfortunately, there are restrictions on registration of trademarks in Oman. In accordance with Islamic traditions, there is no possibility of registering trademarks related to alcohol, pork, night clubs and various drinking establishments.

There is a list of words (that can change from time to time), which are prohibited to be used. You can clarify it with the employees of our law firm, because they have the latest information.
