Comments, exceptions and qualifications |
There is no automatic cancellation of trademark due to non-use in five years in Qatar. However, according to Qatar Trademark Law, any third party may request the court to remove the mark from the Register if, during five consecutive years, the owner has failed to use the mark or to cause it to be used by a third party in the State of Qatar. Removal may apply to the whole or part of the goods or services for which the mark was registered. |
