Trademark Search Procedures in Saudi Arabia

We would like to share an important development regarding trademark search procedures in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Previously, the Saudi Authority for Intellectual Property (SAIP) accepted official trademark search requests upon payment of an official fee of SAR 1,000. These searches were conducted directly by SAIP and provided applicants with official results.

Under the new approach, SAIP encourages local trademark agents to conduct searches independently through the SAIP online portal. As a result, trademark searches are now conducted on an unofficial basis, using the information available in SAIP's online database. While these searches remain a valuable tool for assessing potential conflicts before filing, they are only indicative and cannot guarantee the absence of earlier conflicting rights.
