According to the Jordanian Trademarks Law, any person may file an opposition against a trademark application. Accordingly, it is possible to file an opposition in the name of any person even in favor of another party without requiring a Power of Attorney from such party.
According to Jordanian Jurisprudence, use of trademarks in free zones and duty free shops and markets is not considered as use that negates grounds for striking a trademark registration based on non-use. Accordingly, a party wishing to maintain its mark and avoid any possibility of cancellation based on non-use is required to use its mark in Jordanian markets other than free markets.
Jordan amended its copyright law in October 1998 to include a provision authorizing National Library officers powers of the Judicial Police. Accordingly, officers may search and confiscate pirated products in any shop found to have been in violation of the Copyright Law.
Kuwait, a member of the Gulf Cooperation Council, is still lacking a legislation to regulate Copyright.
