Registration of trademarks is preceded by a prior art search stage, to ensure that the new trademark is free of any similarity or conformity with a previously registered trademark. Due to the high requirement for professional experience in the methods and strategies of proper technical research, while performing a prior art search, the kingdom has adopted a modern self-search system to simplify the prior art search process and enable entrepreneurs to start it themselves.
Self-Search System for Registered Trademark
The Saudi Authority for Intellectual Property has developed a self-search service for trademarks registered within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in just three steps:
- Go through the website of the Saudi Authority for Intellectual Property Saip.gov.sa
- Open the Intellectual property Information Center page.
- Choose searching documents for patents and registered trademarks service.
Once you search for the trademark, whether design or words, the search results will show registered trademarks starting from 1435 AH (2013 AD) until now.

Do Self-Search Results Ensure Acceptance Of Your Trademark Registration?
So far, the electronic Self-Search System is not considered a legal procedure in the trademark registration process, but rather a free service to help entrepreneurs develop exclusive and distinctive trademarks, so the search results do not necessarily mean approval of trademark registration, but all applications are subject to examination, acceptance or rejection according to the report of the competent committee.
On the other hand, the results of electronic self-search only deal with the period from 1435 AH until now, so they are not 100% reliable in similarity tests. You can get a more accurate service through intellectual property offices, as they provide you with a more accurate and objective manual search service starting from the date of adoption of trademark laws in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to this day.
