Review the information carefully to avoid errors or delays. Step 4 \u2013 Pay the Examination Fee After submission, the system issues an invoice of SAR 1,000 for the trademark examination. Payment is required for the application to proceed. Step 5 \u2013 Examination and Response SAIP reviews your application and may: Accept the trademark as filed, accept it conditionally with required modifications, or reject it (with or without the possibility of resubmission). Step 6 \u2013 Publication If the trademark is accepted, you must pay a publication fee of SAR 500. The mark will then be published for 60 days, allowing for third-party opposition. Step 7 \u2013 Final Registration If no opposition is filed (or opposition is resolved in your favor), you will receive a final invoice of SAR 5,000. This must be paid within 30 days. Upon payment, you can print the official certificate of registration. The Certificate Includes: Trademark registration number Application filing date and registration date Trade name of the applicant Name and nationality of the trademark owner Image of the registered trademark Description of the product or service covered Duration of Protection: Once issued, your trademark enjoys legal protection for 10 years (renewable) in Saudi Arabia.
