Good to know

  • Kuwait applies the Trademark Law of the Gulf Cooperation Council, approved by Law No. 13 of 2015.
  • Under the GCC Trademark Law as approved in Kuwait, registration takes effect from the filing date and lasts ten years; renewal is requested in the last year of protection or within six months after expiry, after which the mark is struck off.
  • The competent court may strike a mark from the register at the request of any interested party if it has not been seriously used for five consecutive years, unless the owner justifies the non-use.
International

Madrid Protocol and regional systems

Kuwait is not a member of the Madrid Protocol, so an international registration through WIPO cannot designate it.
