The online trademark registration in Oman provides several benefits, including protection against counterfeiting, smooth enforcement against TM violators, enhanced customer trust, and opportunities for licensing/franchising. The detailed overview of advantages is as follows:
You’re entitled to exclusive rights after you register a trademark in Oman, meaning you can use the ® symbol right next to your registered TM. This will allow you to have 100% control over your brand, and you can even authorize others to use it under specified terms.
With a registered trademark, you can take legal action against infringement or counterfeiting. You can initiate lawsuits to obtain monetary compensation and request injunctions against violators. TM registration provides faster resolutions in IP courts, such as seizure and destruction of unregistered/forged goods.
Customers recognize your goods/services by identifying the ® mark against the unregistered ones. A registered brand increases your credibility amongst the investors and customers, helping you stand out in the Oman market.
The online trademark registration in Oman will assist you in tackling the unauthorized use of your marks and infringements on e-commerce platforms and social media networks.

Once you’ve obtained a trademark in Oman, you can extend your brand identity through the WIPO’s Madrid System, expanding your products in more than 100+ foreign jurisdictions.
With Oman trademark registration online, you can request the customs authority to monitor the imports and exports of counterfeited goods that are misusing your brand in the country.

Find out how to register a trademark in Oman with our expert IP professionals:
It is mandatory to find out if your TM is registerable or not. An ideal trademark shouldn’t be generic or too descriptive, it must set you apart from others in the market, and must not conflict with Omani laws. Every day, words or logos that are fruits or vegetables are straightaway rejected by the IP authority.
The process of online trademark registration in Oman is paper-based, so you must appoint a local agent with a residence in the country. The agent will represent you before the National Intellectual Property Office.
Your representative will conduct a comprehensive trademark search in person. By visiting their TM office. This step will ensure your proposed mark isn’t identical or similar to an already registered mark, streamlining the registration procedure.
Your appointed agent will apply to register a trademark in Oman with the IP authority, with mandatory documents and fees payment. A power of attorney must be legalized to ensure you’re legally represented via your agent. We’ll assist you with the entire paperwork.
The officials will formally and substantially examine your application to check if it meets all the criteria. Meanwhile, our lawyers will closely monitor your application to ensure you respond to each communication on time for a speedy registration.
Once the application is passed by the authority, it gets published in the official gazette, so third party can file their objections (if any). If your application is opposed, then we’ll file counterstatements with proofs after consulting with you to ensure smooth enrolment in the Oman TM registry.
If no objections are filed or your application is passed at every stage, then the National Intellectual Property Office will issue the certificate of trademark registration in Oman. You can now use it to market your products/services in the market as a registered brand.
It’ll take almost 9 to 12 months, starting from the initial search to final online trademark registration in Oman, as a foreign entrepreneur. The detailed timeline is as follows:
Appoint a local agent to represent before the Oman trademark authority in person- practically, no online process exists as of now for IPR registration.
Search your proposed trademark against the registry to detect early infringement.
Assemble documents like ID cards, business registration certificate, copies of trademark, classification of goods/services, and power of attorney.
Apply for trademark registration in Oman via your registered agent with paperwork and prescribed fees.
Details like scrutiny of your passport copy and payment verification will be done by the Oman IP authority.
Your trademark will be examined against absolute and relative grounds before it gets published or rejected.
If your trademark is passed by the authority, it is then published in the gazette for 60 days to invite objections from the public.
If everything goes properly, then you’ll receive the certificate of registration, authorizing you with exclusive rights to the brand.
The list of documents required to apply for trademark registration in Oman is as follows:
A copy of the passport of the applicant
Certificate of incorporation
A notarized or legalized Power of Attorney (POA)
Identification and address proof of the local agent
A list of goods and services as per the Nice Classification
Summary of the proposed mark

Scroll down and find out how Enterslice will assist you in fulfilling the compliance requirements after Oman trademark registration online:
Yes, Oman trademark registration online is eligible for renewal within the last year of the current 10-year validity. You can apply for the renewal of your registration for a successive ten-year indefinite term through an additional fee.
You can ask your local agent to complete this obligation before the expiration to avoid any late surcharge. However, the authority provides a 6-month window for late filings once a trademark’s registration lapses upon expiration.
Any non-compliance will result in the removal of your TM from the register of the Intellectual Property Department. After the said removal, you’ll have to apply for a fresh trademark registration to enroll your mark with the Oman TM office. Let Enterslice’s TM experts handle the renewal process on your behalf.
If you want to apply for trademark registration in Oman, then you must have a clear understanding of the different types of trademarks. Some commonly registered marks include the following:
This mark includes words, letters, numbers, or phrases without any type of graphical elements. Word marks are the most commonly registered marks, such as “Google”, “Samsung”, or “Disney”.
A logo mark, also known as a figurative TM, is a trademark that comprises a logo, symbol, designs, or any other graphical representation without any text elements. You can protect your unique visual identity from others in the market.
A combination mark is a combined version of both word and figurative mark, protecting both textual and graphical elements to secure your brand. Iconic example includes “MasterCard, “Amazon”, and “Burger King”.
A three-dimensional (3D) design of products or their packaging/containers can be registered as a trademark in Oman, provided the mark can differentiate the goods from others in consumer markets.
A color or combination thereof with no words or logos can be trademarked in Oman, given that the said color should have a variant identifier, like its color code.
A mark that is collectively registered and owned by an association and its members. It helps the customers recognize that the brand is part of a specific group.
A certification mark is a type of TM that certifies a product based on its quality, manufacturing process, and origin. It demonstrates to consumers that the goods meet the requirements, as set by the certifying authorities.
