Registration of trademark in Jordan
Availability of trademark is necessary both for businessmen from Jordan and for non-resident entrepreneurs.
Trademark helps to uniqualize the brand on the market among a lot of competitors, and also protect products or services of the corporation from counterfeiting at the legal level.
Trademarks in Jordan should be presented in graphic form, and they can combine different colors, pictures, schemes, sketches, figures, words, letters and miscellaneous, however, the following elements are not allowed to be placed on the logo:
- Quotations, names, surnames, signatures of public figures or names of major well-known corporations without their personal consent, fixed in writing;
- Copied segments from the emblems of other organizations that are already operating in the Jordan market;
- Details of the immoral nature can not be included in the logo;
- Calling for war, terrorist acts, extremism and other offenses, expressed in written or graphic form, will also lead to refusal in trademark registration.

Right to trademark in Jordan
Any entrepreneur or natural person can register trademark in this state of Asia, regardless of the territory of foundation and development of the business.
The expert commission of the country does not impose any special requirements to the applicants, but it is important to properly collect the documentation package and carefully verify it for mistakes.
The package of official documents shall be submitted to the Commission for the protection of intellectual property rights in the state language.
In Jordan, registration of trademarks is possible only according to the national procedure, because the country is not included into the list of participants of the common economic area established by signing the Madrid Agreement.
There are also no regional commissions for consideration of applications in Asia.
Among the advantages of making application in accordance with the national procedure, there are the following:
- The logo is compared only with the emblems of local entrepreneurs, which increases the probability of its uniqueness;
- Trademark should comply with the jurisdiction of only one state;
- Consideration of the documentation package takes less time.
