Saudi Arabian Trade Mark Office amends renewal procedure

With thanks to good friends Nassir Kadasa & Partners there is news that the Trade Mark Office has made a small but significant amendment to the renewal procedure. In the past the renewal of a trade mark could be filed and the original registration certificate could be supplied later for endorsement with the renewal. The new procedure requires that the original registration certificate is submitted with the renewal application. 

This part of the Empty Quarter looks forward to a time when an original registration certificate does not have to travel many miles for the physical endorsement of a renewal or change in the registrant's details.
