RIYADH. Saudi Arabia has introduced a new digital platform for trademark enforcement at its borders. The platform, called Tahaqaq, gives brand owners a more direct and structured channel into the customs system than the notification-based process it replaces. The Saudi Authority for Intellectual Property (SAIP) launched Tahaqaq in the pilot phase in partnership with the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA). It replaces the old notification-based system, in which rights holders reported problems after the fact, with a system that lets them register trademarks in advance, by class. Customs officers can then check incoming shipments against that record. Tahaqaq follows a broader pattern among major trading economies: shifting customs enforcement toward pre-emptive, data-driven systems rather than reactive detention. For companies operating in Saudi Arabia, the platform offers a faster route to flagging and assessing counterfeit shipments, available to those who register before the rollout reaches their ports. Trademark owners with registered marks in Saudi Arabia are advised to begin the recordal process and coordinate with authorized legal counsel.
Libya has resumed online trademark publication through its official portal, making around 500 trademarks available for public review. With a strict 30-day opposition window and limited search functionality, brand owners must act quickly to monitor and protect their trademarks. Immediate action is crucial amid ongoing administrative uncertainties.
Qatar confirms all 45 Nice Classification classes are now available for trademark registration, including Class 33, creating new opportunities for brand owners across industries.
