Qatar trademark search
How to search and register a trademark in Qatar, from official sources. Signa does not sync the MOCI register yet. It holds WIPO Madrid designations that cover Qatar.
Search the MOCI register
How MOCI records can be consulted, as the office states it.
The Ministry of Commerce and Industry's intellectual property services page (checked 2026-11-12) offers trademark registration only as a logged-in e-service and, for searching, links to WIPO's Global Brand Database; no public trademark search of the Ministry's own was found.

Good to know
- Qatar applies the Trademark Law (System) of the Gulf Cooperation Council, put into effect by Law No. 7 of 2014, which repealed the earlier GCC law issued by Law No. 18 of 2007 and any provision contrary to the attached GCC law. WIPO Lex lists Minister of Commerce and Industry Decision No. 56 of 2023 as its Implementing Regulations.
- Under the GCC Trademark Law as applied in Qatar, 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 register.
- 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.
Madrid Protocol and regional systems
Qatar is a member of the Madrid Protocol since 2024-08-03, so an international registration filed through WIPO can designate it.
