Kuwait – New 2016 Official fees for the Enactment of Trademarks In the wake of the new year, the Kuwaiti Trademark Office have decided to implement the new official fees for all Trademark procedures as per their December circular, 13/2015. These developments and application of new fees are results of the 33rd Summit for the Supreme GCC Council, in their attempts to implement a unified GCC Trademark Law. However, it is important to note that the GCC Trademark Law exists only to unify the procedures across the GCC States. Said decree was published and released in the Kuwaiti Official Gazette on 27 December, 2015 and is the applicable decree for all trademarks filed on this date as well as retroactively pending applications.
