Yemen has been in civil war since 2015 and is divided into two factions, one based in the capital Sana'a and one in the port city of Aden. The Ministry of Industry and Commerce in the interim capital Aden issued an official circular on 20 February 2018 announcing the establishment of a new Trademark Office, which functions independently from the Office in Sana’a. The office in Aden operates in accordance with the original Yemeni Law No. 23 of 2010 on trademarks and geographical indications. To secure your trademark rights and to have a full legal coverage it may be advisable to seek protection in both Sana’a and Aden Registries.
