Article 50 explained in plain English
This article deals with the procedure fees relating to trademarks, such as registration and renewal procedures and others regulated by the Trademarks Law and its Implementing Regulations.
The article itself does not state any amount. It refers the setting of the fees to the Implementing Regulations. According to the definitions in Article 1, the Implementing Regulations are the regulations issued by the Commercial Cooperation Committee to implement the law, and Article 52 confirms that this committee is the one that issues the Implementing Regulations.
The fees cover:
- Procedures carried out under the Trademarks Law itself.
- Procedures carried out under its Implementing Regulations.
The practical result is that someone who wants to know the amount of the fee for registering or renewing a mark or for other procedures will not find it in the law, and must refer to the Implementing Regulations and to what the competent authority announces. For this reason this explanation states no amounts.
A person who needs to estimate the expected costs of registering and protecting a mark may consult a lawyer who specializes in trademarks and commercial cases.
