Amend the Trademark Data (change the agent name)

The service for updating trademark data (changing agent name) is an electronic service offered by the Saudi Authority for Intellectual Property (SAIP). It enables the trademark owner to update the data of the legally authorized agent who represents the owner before the Authority in all procedures related to the trademark. The update includes changing the agent's name in the official trademark register to ensure accurate and effective legal and administrative communication, supporting smooth transactions and safeguarding the owner's legal rights.

The change process is conducted by submitting an electronic request through the Authority's portal, attaching the new agent's authorization, and documents proving the legal relationship between the owner and the new agent, along with accurate agent data (such as personal ID or commercial registration). The documents undergo verification by the Authority, and upon approval, the agent's record is officially updated, and necessary notifications are sent to all relevant entities, making the new agent the legal representative of the trademark in all related procedures.

The service provides a vital administrative and legal tool to ensure the smooth conduct of business and regulatory procedures with ease and full transparency within the Saudi intellectual property system.
