Four new IP Laws approved


On 20 October 2026, the Saudi Council of Ministers approved four new laws in the field of intellectual property: the Patents and Utility Models Law, the Designs Law, the Plant Varieties Law, and the Layout-Designs of Integrated Circuits Law.

This step aims to achieve a complete legislative separation between the four intellectual property fields, which were previously merged under a single unified law issued in 2004 (the Law of Patents, Layout-Designs of Integrated Circuits, Plant Varieties, and Industrial Designs).

The full and detailed texts of the laws are expected to be published in the Official Gazette within the coming weeks.
