Trademark Registration in Bahrain

Your Brand Name Is Your Identity… Protecting It Is Essential

A trademark represents your market reputation. Imitation may damage your commercial standing and customers’ trust.

Without trademark registration:

• You do not have the exclusive rights arising from registration.
• It is harder to challenge imitators.
• You may later have to change your brand name.

After registration:

• You may take legal action against infringers.
• You may license its use or assign it for consideration.
• You receive legal protection for ten years.

A trademark registered in Bahrain is protected for ten years.

Protection can be renewed for further equivalent periods by applying before the current term expires.

If renewal is not completed on time, a grace period, usually six months, may be available, with late fees under the applicable rules.

Protection period: Ten years, renewable for equivalent periods, provided the application is filed within the legal deadlines.
