Modify the Trademark Image

The Trademark Image Modification Service is an official service provided by the Saudi Authority for Intellectual Property (SAIP) that allows the trademark owner to make changes to the visual representation or design of their registered trademark in the commercial register. Possible modifications include improving image quality, updating the design, or replacing the old image with a new one while retaining the other trademark data. This service aims to update the trademark in line with the company’s evolving identity or current trends, while preserving intellectual property rights and the legal protection of the trademark.

The modification process is conducted by submitting an electronic request through the Authority’s platform, attaching the new trademark image, and specifying the details of the desired change, along with submitting ownership documents and the original certificate. The service undergoes technical and legal review by the Authority to ensure the new image complies with standards and does not conflict with other trademarks. After approval, the trademark register is updated with the new image, and related information is officially amended within the Authority’s database.

The Trademark Image Modification Service represents a flexible and essential tool to maintain the visual identity of the trademark while continuing its legal protection and enhancing its commercial value according to modern international and local standards.
