12-Dec-2012
RIYADH – Based on the Ministerial Decision No. 1147 dated 30/11/1432 H (corresponding to October 16, 2012) of the Minister of Commerce and Industry in Saudi Arabia, the publications of accepted trademarks including new filing, renewals, recordals, etc... have started to take place on the website of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry and not in the Official Gazette (Um Al-Qura) as from 10/01/1434 H (corresponding to November 24, 2012).
This new step is expected to reduce timeframe required for completing the trademarks services and procedures at the TM Office and to end the publication backlog existed earlier in the Official Gazette.
The E-publication is taking place on the website of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry on the following link:
