12th edition of Nice Classification adopted


The Kingdom of Bahrain has officially adopted the 12th edition of the International Classification of Goods and Services (NICE Classification), on April 9, 2025, a significant step forward in aligning its intellectual property framework with international standards. This update will enhance trademark registration processes and support businesses in protecting their brands more effectively.

The NICE Classification, established by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), is an international system used to classify goods and services for the registration of marks. By adopting the latest edition, Bahrain ensures that its trademark system remains current with global practices, facilitating smoother trade and stronger brand protection for companies operating within and beyond its borders.

All trade mark applications filed from 9 April onward need to comply with the updated list of goods and services categories, as indicated in the latest version of the Nice Classification.
