Riyadh— The Saudi Authority for Intellectual Property (SAIP) has officially adopted the 12th edition of the Nice Classification, effective November 2, 2023. This move introduces substantial changes to the trademark application process, particularly in how applicants specify their goods or services.
Under the new guidelines, the SAIP no longer accepts class headings. Instead, applicants are required to choose between listing specific items from a predefined list or selecting all items within a particular class. This shift represents a decisive move towards a more detailed and precise approach in the trademark application process.
