Muscat: The Ministry of Commerce and Industry explained that the number of trademarks and patents that have been archived since the beginning of the electronic archiving project in 2016 amounted to 115,505 e-applications, including 112,000 applications for trademarks, 3,505 applications for patents.


The ministry pointed out that the project of archiving applications for intellectual property electronically comes within the framework of the ministry’s plan to speed the transformation to e-government.


The project is a compilation of all the applications of the Intellectual Property Department (trademarks, patents and industrial designs) on various stages, the first one on trademark was implemented and subsequent applications were archived.


The Ministry of Commerce and Industry confirmed that the


archiving project will facilitate procedures during the course of the work of the Intellectual Property Department.


In addition, it contributes to reducing the burden for the employees to ensure that the procedures are carried out in the required manner.


The completion of applications electronically ensures the accuracy of these applications and that they are flawless, to save fees when finalising the applications electronically. It ensures better and more effective management and access to archived information easily.— ONA
