What is a 
Trademark ?
★ A trademark is a type of symbol, word or phrase 
used by businesses to distinguish their products or 
services from those of others. 
★ It serves as a unique sign or symbol that 
represents the company's brand or identity. When 
you see a trademark, you can easily recognize the 
company or product associated with it. 
★ Trademarks help businesses to protect their brand 
identity and prevent others from using the same or 
similar trademark for similar or related goods or 
services, which can cause confusion among 
consumers.

Process of Trademark 
Registration
Trademark Search
★ Before filing an application for trademark 
registration, conduct a preliminary search of the 
Qatari Trademark Register to ensure that your 
trademark is not identical or similar to any existing 
registered trademark in Qatar. 
★ This can be done online or by visiting the MOCI.
Trademark Filing
★ Once you have conducted a trademark search and 
confirmed that your trademark is available for 
registration, the next step is to file an application 
with the MOCI. The application must include the 
following information:
● The name and address of the applicant
● A clear representation of the trademark
● A list of the goods and/or services associated 
with the trademark
● A power of attorney authorizing a local agent 
to act on your behalf, if you are not based in 
Qatar.
Trademark Examination
★ The MOCI will examine your application to ensure 
that it meets all the legal requirements for 
trademark registration in Qatar. 
★ This includes checking that your trademark is 
distinctive and not misleading or offensive.
Trademark Publication
★ If the application is approved, it will be published in 
the official gazette of Qatar. 
★ Third parties have 60 days from the date of 
publication to oppose the registration of the 
trademark. 
★ If there is no opposition or any legal issue with the 
application, the MOCI will issue a trademark 
registration certificate to the applicant.
