Regulatory Body

Intellectual Property Department under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry.

Legal framework

Trademarks in Oman are governed by the Industrial Property Rights Law (adopted by Royal Decree No. 67/2008).

By virtue of Royal Decree No. 33 of 2017 promulgating the Law of Trademarks for the GCC States (the GCC Trademarks Law), Oman became the fourth GCC nation to adopt the GCC Trademarks Law as of July 25, 2017. The GCC Trademark Law’s implementing rules, however, have not yet been released by Oman.

Oman is a party to the Madrid Protocol, making it feasible to extend an existing worldwide trademark registration via the Madrid System.

Classification of Goods and Services: 11th Edition of Nice Classification (NCL).

Opposition Period: 90 days from the publication date. Extension of the opposition period is not possible. 

Protection Period: 10 Years. 

Renewal: A registered mark is renewable for successive periods of 10 years within the last year of protection. 

Grace Period for Renewal: A grace period of 6 months is allowed for the renewal with a lateness fine following the expiry of the registration period.

Use of trademarks: It is not compulsory for registration or maintaining the registration in force. However, as per Article 42/2 of Industrial Property Rights Law, any interested party may request the Registrar to cancel the mark if the mark has not been used by the registered owner or a licensee during a continuous period of three (3) years or longer.
