AMMAN, Sept. 12 (Petra) – The Industrial Property Protection
Directorate at the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Supply has
registered 83 patents between the beginning of the year and the end
of August, including two domestic filings.
According to official data released by the directorate, 4,875
trademarks were registered during the eight-month period, alongside
the formal renewal of 3,760 existing trademark portfolios.
Operational filings further showed the renewal of 364 patents, the
issuance of 14 trademark licensing agreements, 966 administrative
amendments to industrial property names and addresses, and 695
recorded assignments of ownership.
Under prevailing intellectual property statutes, a patent represents
any innovative technical concept devised by an inventor relating to a
product, a manufacturing process, or both, designed to resolve
specific technical challenges.
The patent registration lifecycle encompasses initial inventor
guidance and filing procedures, culminating in the issuance of final
letters patent. The administrative workflow includes rigorous
technical and formal examination phases to verify compliance with
statutory prerequisites, alongside third-party public disclosures
such as Official Gazette publications and public register
inspections.
Trademarks are defined as any visible sign utilized–or intended for
use–by commercial entities to distinguish their goods, products, or
services from those of competitors.
