Register your trademark with Qatar’s Ministry of Commerce and Industry through the Industrial Property Protection Office. Meem Business Services prepares the application, the logo copies and the file, so your brand is protected in Qatar.

Trademark registration gives your brand name, logo or slogan legal protection in Qatar.
The Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MOCI) registers the mark through its Intellectual Property Protection Department. Registration gives the owner the exclusive right to use the mark for the products or services in the application. The owner can then act against a confusingly similar brand in Qatar.
A trademark must distinguish your goods or services from another business. The table below separates what MOCI accepts from what it refuses.
Applications are filed offline with the Industrial Property Protection Office at MOCI's Intellectual Property Protection Department. Each step below moves the mark closer to registration.
The search shows whether a similar mark is already registered or pending for your classes. A clear search lowers the risk of an objection or an opposition later.
The logo must be an exact match to the mark in the application, with four printed copies. The form records the applicant details and the products or services the mark covers.
Submit the completed form and the four logo copies to the office at MOCI. The office reviews the filing for completeness and for the requirements of the Qatar trademark law.
MOCI examines the mark, then publishes the accepted mark so third parties can object. The mark moves to registration once the opposition window closes without a successful objection.
MOCI registers the mark and issues the certificate. The certificate records the owner, the mark and the classes it covers.
Prepare these items before you file with MOCI.
For an individual, the form records the name, surname, occupation, nationality and place of residence. For a company, the form records the name, address, company type and the purpose of the trademark.
MOCI charges one government fee for the trademark application.
The fee is a government charge, separate from any help with the search, the form or the class strategy. The current fee is confirmed with you before filing, so there is no surprise at the counter.
A trademark right is territorial, so a Qatar registration protects the mark in Qatar. A prior filing in a member state can support a priority claim. Qatar must be a party to that multilateral agreement.
For a priority claim, submit a copy of the earlier application with its date, number and country. The copy must be approved by the competent authority and authenticated by the Qatari Embassy.
To protect the mark across the Gulf and further afield, file in each market or use the relevant international route.
Use the mark and keep the records current, because protection is strongest when an owner acts on conflicts.
Monitor for confusingly similar marks and act on conflicts early.
Update the registration when the brand, the owner or the goods change.
Renew the registration when it falls due so the right stays in force.
Most delays come from the file, not the office.
