Trademark Search

We start by checking whether your proposed trademark has already been registered or not. This helps to reduce the chances of objections and delays during the application process.

Trademark Application Filing

After the confirmation of the trademark availability, our team prepares and submits your trademark application along with the requested documents to the relevant authorities in Bahrain.

Classification of Goods & Services

Your trademark is filed under the appropriate Nice Classification on the basis of your business activities. A separate application is submitted for each applicable trademark class.

Trademark Examination

During this step, the Ministry checks your application properly to make sure that all the legal requirements are fulfilled.

Publication in the Official Gazette

Once your product gets the trademark approval, it is published in the Official Gazette. This allows others to raise objections within the prescribed opposition period, if applicable.

Trademark Registration Certificate

If no valid objections are received, the Ministry issues the trademark registration certificate. This gives your brand legal protection and exclusive rights to use the trademark in Bahrain.
