It is important to understand the official government costs when you register your trademark in Saudi Arabia, so that there are no negative surprises. Businesses underestimate or misunderstand the government costs, and thereafter face budget overruns or time delays. To keep you moving forward with confidence, we clearly show you the fees you will incur with the Saudi Authority for Intellectual Property (SAIP) below.
1) Filing a Trademark Application
The government fee to file a trademark application that will be submitted to SAIP is SAR 1,000.
2) Publication in the Official Gazette
If SAIP accepts your original application, the trademark will next need to be published in the official SAIP Gazette in order to accept objection by other parties. The government fee to publish the trademark is SAR 500.
3) Final Registration and Certificate Issuing
The government fee to have the trademark registered and to receive a trademark certificate (the official protection for a period of 10 years after registration) is SAR 5,000.
Important Information Regarding the Extra costs
The above fees are the government fees only, and do not take into consideration any of legal service fees on top of these fees.
There will also be additional costs for ancillary items related to the profession fees that will also include in issuing a Power of Attorney (POA), attestation fees, and other costs associated with sending documents via the courier.
Important Clarification About Trademark Classes
The government fees mentioned in the above section is applicable on a per-trademark-class basis. If you would like to register the same trademark in any additional classes, such as to protect both clothing and cosmetics, or software and legal services, you will need to pay the same fees for each class submitted. Each class will be treated by SAIP as a separate registration and will be charged for accordingly.
