BaghdadiLaw’s experience in trademark licensing contract in Saudi Arabia
BaghdadiLaw brings nearly seven decades of legal practice, since its founding in 1957, to trademark licensing, with specialised knowledge of permitted use, quality control, royalties and the consequences of licence termination. A trademark licence lets another business use a brand while ownership stays with the proprietor. For a Saudi-facing licence, unclear goods, territory, quality controls or termination terms can turn ordinary distribution into a dispute over who may keep using the mark. Begin with the registered rights and the proposed business arrangement.
Articles 29–33 address licensing. A licence can cover all or some registered goods or services, and its term cannot exceed the mark’s protection period. The owner’s continued use, other licences, permissible quality controls and any agreed right to sublicense require express attention; a distributor should not assume exclusivity from the relationship alone. Identify whether the disputed use falls outside the agreed goods, territory or term, or instead breaches a quality obligation. Preserve approvals and notices: an informal permission or tolerated practice can change the factual dispute even when the written contract is incomplete.
We agree the work your matter needs: A limited licence may suit one product line; wider exclusivity needs matching performance and termination terms. If the commercial intention is permanent ownership transfer, assess an assignment instead. Existing unauthorised use calls for an evidence and enforcement review before extending permission. The deliverable is agreed for your file: A clause review identifying permitted use, exclusivity, quality approval, royalties, sublicensing and post-termination issues, with proposed revisions within the agreed consultation scope.

Before requesting advice on trademark licensing contract in Saudi Arabia
Must a Saudi trademark licence be recorded to be valid?+
Article 31 requires a written licence but does not make recordal in the trademark register mandatory. That distinction does not remove the need to verify the licensor’s title, signatory authority and the agreed use. Where the parties choose recordal, its application and publication requirements should be addressed separately.
Can the licensee grant a sublicense?+
Article 32 makes this dependent on agreement; the permission should be checked rather than inferred from a broad right to sell branded products.
What should happen to stock when the licence ends?+
Address any permitted sell-off, removal of signs, online listings and return of materials in the contract. Continued sales should not be assumed lawful merely because the stock was acquired during the licence.
