How to Enroll Your Saudi Arabia Trademark in Amazon Brand Registry
Explains how Amazon sellers can enroll a Saudi Arabia (KSA) trademark in Brand Registry, covering required certificate details, accepted trademark types, and WIPO considerations.
Overview
Amazon sellers looking to protect their brand on the Saudi Arabia marketplace need to understand how to properly submit their trademark details through Brand Registry. This guide covers the specific requirements for enrolling a trademark issued by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), including where to find the correct information on your trademark certificate and how to enter it into your Brand Registry application.
Key Points / What Sellers Need to Know
- Trademark certificate is your primary document - All required details for your Brand Registry application can be found on the electronic trademark registration certificate issued by the Saudi Authority for Intellectual Property.
- Exact brand name match is required - Your brand name must be entered exactly as it appears on your trademark certificate, with no variations or modifications.
- Both registered and pending trademarks are accepted - You can apply with either a registered trademark (using the registration number) or a pending trademark (using the application number).
- Only word marks and design marks qualify for initial enrollment - Other trademark types can only be added after your brand is already enrolled in Brand Registry.
- WIPO designations are handled differently - If your trademark was issued through the World Intellectual Property Organization with designation in Saudi Arabia, you must use the WIPO registration number rather than a separate WIPO number.
How to Complete the Application
When filling out your Brand Registry application for a KSA trademark, start by entering your brand name in the "What is your brand name?" field. This must match your trademark certificate exactly. Next, select the appropriate trademark office from the dropdown menu — for Saudi Arabia, choose the option labeled "KSA" or "Kingdom of Saudi Arabia." You will then need to provide either your registration number (for registered trademarks) or your application number (for pending trademarks), depending on the current status of your trademark. Each of these details can be located on your electronic trademark certificate issued by the Saudi intellectual property authority.
