Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is there a single trademark registration for all GCC countries?
No. Each GCC country registers trademarks nationally, so a separate application is filed in each country where you need protection.
Can you file in several GCC countries at the same time?
Yes. We can file in all GCC countries together and send you one proposal covering every country you choose.
How long does protection last in the GCC?
Ten years in each country, renewable for further ten-year periods.
