Commercial Trademarks (Saudi Arabia, Royal Decree M/5, 1404 AH) in English

Royal Decree No. M/5 of 1404H (1984) promulgated the Saudi Commercial Trademarks Law that governed mark registration and protection in the Kingdom for three decades, until Saudi Arabia adopted the GCC Trademarks Law regime in 2014. Marks registered, licensed or litigated during the M/5 era are still read against this text.

Brand owners auditing long-held Saudi registrations, IP counsel with legacy opposition or infringement matters, and researchers tracing the development of Gulf trademark law all have reason to consult the 1984 statute.
