At present, Saudi Arabia adopts the Nice Classification 10th edition of product and service descriptions, which can accept large title product and service descriptions on designated categories. Alcoholic products in Class 33 and Class 32, pork products in Class 29, Christmas trees and related products in Class 28, and retail services in Class 35 related to the aforementioned products are not eligible for registration and do not accept applications for multiple categories on a single form. The elements that can be registered as trademarks in Saudi Arabia include: text, name, graphics, three-dimensional identification, etc.

If the applicant does not reside in Saudi Arabia, 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 Saudi Arabian trademark is: application, examination, announcement, approval, and issuance of a certificate. After about one week of application submission, the application will be accepted. The Saudi Arabian 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 modify the trademark within 10 working days. If the applicant does not agree to modify the trademark, they may also appeal within the prescribed time limit; Once the review is approved, an announcement will be arranged. The 60 day objection period from the announcement date is non extendable, and any interested party or prior rights holder may raise objections. 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. Violating the public interest.

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 Saudi Arabia will take about 8 months. If there are any objections or rejections encountered during the process, the time will be extended.
