Number of Applications for Trademark Registration in Oman Increased by 11% in 2023

The number of applications for trademark registration and documentation in the Sultanate of Oman increased by 11 per cent in 2023, reaching 13,043 compared to 11,742 in 2022, according to the national Intellectual Property (IP) office in Oman.

Ghalib Mohammed Al Saidi, an intellectual property researcher at the Ministry of Commerce, Industry, and Investment Promotion, stated that the past two years saw a rise of 10 to 14 per cent in requests for trademark registration and documentation.

In the first half of 2024, a total of 6,109 trademarks were registered, and the number of patents stood at 428, he explained.

"The increased demand for such procedures reflects the keenness of trademark owners to document their trademarks in the markets to support commercial competition and combat fraud and manipulation," said Ghalib Al Saidi, noting that the related applications are submitted through the "Oman Business" platform.
