SR10,000 Fine for Using Another Merchant’s Trade Name in Saudi Arabia

In a recent update regarding the Saudi Trade Name Law, merchants in Saudi Arabia are now subject to significant penalties for using trade names that have already been registered by other businesses.

Follow our Facebook page for the latest news and job updates!

Specifically, a fine of SR10,000 will be imposed on merchants who utilize a trade name that is already reserved or registered by another entity.

Key Regulations Under the Trade Name Law

The Ministry of Commerce has released draft executive regulations for the Saudi Trade Name Law, which aims to regulate the use of trade names effectively. These regulations stipulate:

  • Prohibited Trade Names: Merchants are not allowed to use names that are politically, militarily, or religiously suggestive. Additionally, names that resemble those of established local or international organizations are also banned.
  • Serious Violations: The most severe infractions, such as using a prohibited trade name, will incur a higher fine of SR15,000.
  • Registration Obligations: Merchants must adopt and register their trade names in the commercial register. This law comprises 23 articles that outline the necessary guidelines for name registration.

Public Feedback and Implementation

To gather public input, the executive regulations have been published on the Istila’a public survey platform. The Council of Ministers approved the new Trade Name Law on September 17, 2024, highlighting its importance in maintaining fair business practices.

Additional Regulations

The regulations also allow for the reservation of names related to Saudi Arabia, its cities, and public places, provided they comply with specified guidelines. Merchants must ensure that their chosen names do not harm the reputation of the Kingdom or its regions.

Classification of Violations

Violations are categorized into serious and non-serious types, with fines for non-serious violations ranging from SR1,000 to SR5,000. Examples include failing to display the trade name on business documents or signage.

Service Fees

The regulations include fixed fees for trade name services:

  • SR200 to reserve a trade name in Arabic
  • SR500 for an English trade name
  • SR100 to extend the reservation period

Conclusion

Merchants are urged to familiarize themselves with these regulations to avoid hefty fines and ensure compliance with the Saudi Trade Name Law. A review committee will oversee violations and has the authority to adjust penalties based on individual circumstances.

Raimondo di San Germano echoed this sentiment:

“We are excited to return to Qatar after a ten-year hiatus, to what was once one of the most popular stops on the World Championship circuit.

We experienced fantastic racing and warm hospitality during our previous Grand Prix events here, and we anticipate continuing that tradition with our new partnership with the Doha Marine Sports Club.

Our gratitude goes to Khalifa bin Mohammed Al-Suwaidi and Salah bin Ibrahim Al-Mannai for their support in making this venture a reality.”

Between March 2011 and March 2015, the former Qatar Marine Sports Federation (QMSF) hosted rounds of the aquabike series on Doha Bay. The QMSF, along with H2O Racing, also organized events for the UIM F1H2O World Championship during the same period.

Notably, Qatar’s Thamer Al-Darwish secured a thrilling victory in the Runabout GP1 category at the last Grand Prix held in 2015.

In the Ski Division GP1, Spain’s Nacho Armillas triumphed over the French competitors Jérémy Poret and Alex Barret, while fellow Spaniard Sandra Fernandez Hernandez topped the Ski Ladies GP1 standings.

The 2015 Grand Prix occurred during an era dominated by the Slovenian Florjancic brothers in the Freestyle category, with Nac narrowly defeating his brother Rok for the Grand Prix title at what was then the opening round of the World Championship.
