Trademark registration time
The current trademark regulations in Jordan are mainly based on the 1999 Trademark Law, which was last revised in 2008. The Jordanian Trademark Office is responsible for managing trademark affairs and the official language is Arabic. Trademark exclusive rights need to be obtained through registration. Trademark registration is not mandatory, but in order to protect the trademark or renew it, it must be registered in accordance with the law. Jordan adopts the principle of "application first" for trademark registration, but in some cases, trademark rights can also be claimed based on "prior use".
Jordan is a contracting party to international intellectual property treaties such as the Nice Agreement, Vienna Agreement, TRIPS Agreement, WIPO Convention, and Paris Convention, and has not yet joined the Madrid System. Therefore, trademark registration can only be processed through "single country registration".
Trademark Registration Process
At present, the Jordanian Trademark Office adopts the Nice classification for describing goods and services and does not accept applications for multiple categories in one form. The elements that can be registered as trademarks in Jordan include: text, name, graphics, three-dimensional identification, color combination, slogan, appearance, etc.
If the applicant does not reside in Jordan, they must entrust a specialized agent in their home country to handle the matter. The basic materials required for trademark application are:
1. Trademark design;
2. Specific product/service items;
3. Name and address of the applicant;
4. Power of attorney for notarization and authentication;
5.If priority is declared, priority proof documents and corresponding Arabic translations must be provided.
The main process for applying for registration of a Jordanian trademark is: application, examination, announcement, approval, and issuance of a certificate. The application will be accepted within one week after submission, and the Jordan Trademark Office will conduct formal and substantive examinations. If the examination fails, a rejection notice will be issued and the applicant will be required to respond within the time limit specified in the rejection notice; Once the review is approved, an announcement will be made, and a 3-month objection period will be set from the announcement date. Any interested party or prior rights holder may raise objections, and the main reasons for raising objections are:
1. Conflict with prior trademarks, such as owning a prior registered trademark;
2. Trademarks are descriptive;
3. The trademark lacks distinctiveness;
4. The trademark has adverse effects;
5. Well known trademark;
6. Malicious registration;
7. Conflict with other prior rights, such as trade name rights, design rights, copyrights, personal names, etc;
8. Common name;
9. Geographical indications;
10. Unauthorized use of logos;
11. Violating public order and good customs.
If there are no objections or objections are not valid during the announcement period, the trademark will be approved for registration. If everything goes smoothly, trademark registration in Jordan will take about one year. If there are any objections or rejections encountered during the process, the time will be extended.
