News: Trademark registration in Yemen

Registration of trademarks in Yemen

Asian states are characterized by their developed infrastructure and economy. In Yemen, there are a lot of local producers, but the country is constantly adding companies of foreign entrepreneurs to the market, which contributes to competition and gives businessmen the opportunity to strengthen their positions in the market.

Sale of goods and provision of services in this country are impossible without the presence of special permission issued by the commission on the protection of intellectual property. The lawyers of Law&Trust will advise concerning trademark registration in Yemen, as well as carry out the procedure for collecting and preparing documentation for filing the application.

The process of registering a brand name in Yemen

The client applying to our company should provide only three documents, namely: copy of his passport, application for registration of trademark in Yemen, and power of attorney for the specialist who will represent the client's interests when receiving statements and extracts from government authorities.

• Application for registration implies the availability of the logo that is a graphic interpretation of the trademark. The emblem is carefully verified for similarity with trademarks of other companies, in view of which the client should create unique trademark. The logo can consist of any elements starting from simple letters and figures up to surnames and three-dimensional pictures. It is forbidden to use the names of famous people without their written permission. It is inadmissible to include details of immoral nature and calls for violation of legislation in the content of the emblem.

• The documents are collected by the lawyer, and the period of the process does not have specific time frame, because individual documentation package is provided for each counterparty. The register is compiled by the specialist of our company on the basis of the data regarding the company or the natural person, which you personally provide.

• Preparation of official documents consists in verifying their compliance with the jurisdiction of Yemen, translating and stamping by seals that certify the legal force of the forms.

Consideration of the application by representatives of the commission on copyright protection can take up to two years, but it often takes much less time. During the specified period, verification of data on the applicant, search for similar logos, as well as publication of data on the new trademark are carried out.

Entrepreneurs or natural persons may object to registration of this trademark in due legal form if there are reasonable grounds (similarity of the logo with the already registered one, insulting the feelings of one or several groups of people).

The peculiarity and one of the advantages of filing the application for registration of trademark in Asian countries is the possibility of registering a group of goods according to one application. The foregoing simplifies the process of compiling and collecting documents.
