Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I get a Comprehensive Trademark Study before filing my trademark?
Filing a trademark application without proper analysis can result in refusal, opposition, or unnecessary costs. Our Comprehensive Trademark Study evaluates potential conflicts, analyzes registrability under local trademark law, and provides a clear risk rating so you can make an informed decision before proceeding with registration.
If the Study supports moving forward, our team can immediately handle the trademark filing and guide you through the full registration process.
What is the difference between a trademark search and a Comprehensive Trademark Study?
A basic trademark search simply lists similar marks found in official databases. Our Comprehensive Trademark Study goes further by analyzing those results, assessing legal and commercial risk, evaluating the strength of your mark, and delivering a clear strategic recommendation.
Every Study includes the full Search Report at no additional cost and is reviewed by a trademark professional.
What does the Comprehensive Trademark Study include?
Each Study includes:
- Conflict detection (graphic, phonetic, and conceptual similarities)
- Severity ratings for each potential conflict
- Attorney-reviewed registrability analysis under local trademark law
- Overall risk rating: Low, Medium, or High
- Strategic recommendation with actionable next steps
- Full Search Report included at no extra cost
How long does the Comprehensive Trademark Study take?
Your Study is delivered within one business day after submission. This allows you to quickly determine whether to proceed with filing your trademark application.
What happens after I receive my Comprehensive Trademark Study?
Based on the risk level and recommendation, you may:
- Proceed with trademark registration through our filing service
- Adjust your mark or goods/services description before filing
- Decide not to file and avoid likely refusal or opposition
If you decide to proceed, we handle the preparation and submission of your trademark application and manage the process until registration.
What are the basic steps to register a trademark in Kuwait?
1. Order a Comprehensive Trademark Study (recommended).
2. Prepare your application details (mark, owner, goods/services).
3. We file your trademark application with the Trademark Office.
4. The trademark office examines the application.
5. If approved, the mark is published for opposition.
6. If no objections succeed, the trademark proceeds to registration.
What rights do I obtain once my trademark is registered?
A registered trademark generally grants you exclusive rights to use the mark for the registered goods and services within that jurisdiction.
- Stronger legal protection against infringers
- Public notice of ownership
- Enhanced brand value and commercial credibility
Are oppositions or office action responses included in the filing service?
No. The Trademark Application Filing service covers the preparation and submission of your trademark application, including official filing fees and professional service fees related to the initial filing.
If the Trademark Office issues an objection (office action) or if a third party files an opposition, these matters require additional legal analysis and response. In such cases, we will provide a separate quotation outlining the recommended strategy and associated costs before taking any further action.
This approach ensures transparency and allows you to decide how to proceed based on the specific circumstances of your case.
If I previously filed my trademark in another country, can I claim priority in Kuwait?
Yes. If you filed your trademark in another country within the last 6 months, you can claim priority in Kuwait based on that earlier filing.
Can my trademark be filed immediately and the Power of Attorney (POA) submitted later?
Yes. We can file your trademark in Kuwait immediately after you provide the necessary details. You can submit the Power of Attorney later. This option will be displayed once you order your trademark.
How long does it take for a trademark to be registered in Kuwait?
Typically, if there are no oppositions or objections, trademark registration in Kuwait takes about 10 months.
Do I need to provide a Power of Attorney?
Yes. A notarized Power of Attorney is required in Kuwait. "Notarized" means it must be signed before a notary. If you reside outside the country, legalization is also necessary.
