Registering a trademark with the Intellectual Property Department of the Ministry of Commerce, Industry, and Investment Promotion of Oman takes about 12–18 months if there are no oppositions or errors in the application. Complex cases may take up to 24 months.
The deadline for filing an opposition is 90 days from the publication of the application in the Official Gazette (official bulletin of the Ministry).
In Oman, you can register word marks, figurative marks, combined marks, three-dimensional marks, sound marks, and color marks, provided they are distinctive. Marks contrary to public morality, religious values, or state symbols are prohibited.
The certificate is valid for 10 years from the filing date and can be renewed indefinitely every 10 years.
The owner has the exclusive right to use the mark commercially in Oman, prohibit others from using similar marks, and transfer or license the trademark rights.
The filing fee is approximately $300–600 for one class of goods/services, including registration and publication fees. Additional costs may include legal services or fees for extra classes.
No, use is not mandatory, but non-use for 5 consecutive years after registration may lead to cancellation upon third-party request, as per Article 21 of the Royal Decree on Trademarks.
If the trademark is not renewed within 10 years from the filing date, the registration is canceled. Reinstatement is possible within 3 months after the deadline by paying an additional fee.
