News from good friends SMAS:
"After its accession to the Hague Agreement, legalization of documents by Apostille is now acceptable to the Bahrain Patent Office, for all applicants/inventors of any country member to the said Agreement, thus abolishing the requirements of legalization of foreign documents up to the Bahrain Consulate.
The Bahraini Patent Office has recently started formal examination for National Phase applications filed under the PCT scheme in Bahrain, and in this regard, some further supporting documents will be required by the Patent Office. However, the said anticipated documents shall be specified timely for each case.
A verified Arabic translation for the patent specification and the priority documents, stamped by a Local Certified Translation Office, will be required."

This part of the Empty Quarter welcomes the removal of legalisation steps and examination of patent applications so lots of good news.
