The Saudi Authority for Intellectual Property (SAIP) has recently amended portions of the Intellectual Property Services Licensing Regulations, making the acquisition of a professional qualification certificate issued by the competent authority a fundamental requirement for obtaining a license and representing others in providing intellectual property services. This amendment aims to regulate, support, develop, sponsor, protect, enforce, and enhance the Kingdom's intellectual property sector in accordance with best international practices.
The professional qualification examination serves as one of the conditions for obtaining a license to practice intellectual property-related services and activities. It is designed to cultivate a professional cadre of intellectual property experts within the country, ensuring their proficiency in theoretical knowledge, high-quality application capabilities, and the professional responsibility essential for agents.
Individuals seeking to obtain a license for providing intellectual property services can visit the SAIP's official website to review the conditions and requirements for obtaining the license.
