IPO in Sanaa Removes Limitation to Number of Goods and Services


The IPO based in Sanaa, Yemen has introduced a major update to its trade mark application policy, as outlined in Ministerial Decision No. 52/2024.

The change eliminates the previous cap of 10 goods or services per application, allowing applicants to designate an unlimited number of items within a single filing. This reform reflects global trends to simplify and modernize trade mark registration processes.

While the prior restriction has been removed, any goods or services listed beyond the first 10 will be subject to additional publication fees, calculated at a rate of 5% of the standard publication fee for each additional item. This approach balances the flexibility of an unlimited number of items with the administrative costs of processing and publishing extended lists.

While Yemen has two IPOs, one operating in Sanaa and the other in Aden, the Aden IPO still adheres to this policy, while the Sanaa IPO has now removed this prior 10 item restriction.
