Trademark Registration in Qatar
Qatari national trade mark application with MOCI's Intellectual Property Rights Protection Department, under the GCC Trademark Law as implemented in Qatar and MOCI's regulations. Filing is per class under the Nice Classification and fees are charged per class. A foreign, non-resident applicant must appoint a licensed trade mark agent in Qatar and file a power of attorney legalised up to the Qatari consulate and super-legalised by the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs, with a certified Arabic translation by an approved local translation office — Qatar is not an Apostille state, so documents are consularised, not apostilled. Examination and publication follow, with an opposition window running from publication. The term is reported as 10 years, renewable for successive 10-year periods.
