Trademark Registration In Qatar

Let us begin with understanding what is a trademark? A trademark can be defined as an intangible asset whose value increases as the consumer demand for the trademarked product increases. The importance of trademark is held in the exclusivity provided by it to a given product. Companies get the trademark registered for a product in order to be able to enjoy exclusive rights to sell it and have it identified and differentiated from other goods. A product or service with a trademark is perceived as more reliable and easy to advertise, promote or be marketed.
