Trademark Registration in Bahrain
(Your Brand Name Is Your Identity… Protecting It Is a Necessity, Not an Option)
A trademark is not merely a name or logo; it represents your reputation in the market. Any imitation can damage your commercial standing and cost you customer trust.
Without registering your trademark:
- You do not have exclusive legal rights.
- It becomes difficult to prevent others from copying it.
- You may later be forced to change your brand name entirely.
After registration:
- You have the right to take legal action against any infringer.
- You may license or assign it for financial consideration.
- You obtain legal protection for 10 years.
Once a trademark is successfully registered in Bahrain, it is protected for ten (10) years.
The protection can be renewed for additional 10-year periods by submitting a renewal application before the current protection period expires.
If renewal is not completed on time, a grace period (usually six months) is typically available, during which renewal may still be possible subject to a late fee, in accordance with the applicable regulations.
In summary: The initial protection period is 10 years from the date of registration, with the possibility of renewing for similar 10-year terms, provided renewal is filed within the legal timeframe.
