Who We Work With in This Sector
Fashion and luxury goods brands needing full trademark protection.
Distributors negotiating distribution contracts with global or local luxury brands.
Some new luxury brands delay local trademark registration until after their first physical store has already opened, relying on their international registration alone, a position that exposes them to the risk of a local party exploiting this gap by registering a similar mark. The lawyers always recommend registering the trademark locally before any actual commercial appearance in the Saudi market, not after.
