Trademark Protection in Jordan: Legal Steps Before Launching a Brand Name

By Attorney Dr. Omar Shehadeh

A trade name and trademark are business assets. Selecting an appealing name is not enough before using it; you should reduce the risk of conflict with existing rights or having to rebrand after investing in it.

Practical steps before launch

• Conduct an initial search for similar trademarks and names.
• Identify the goods or services on which the mark will be used.
• Document dates of use and marketing materials.
• Assess registration needs and related procedures.

Why wording matters

The description of goods and services, owner details, and correspondence management affect how a trademark file is handled. A specialist lawyer can help select an appropriate path before expansion.
