New practice for trademark renewal in light of Nice Classification


The Omani Trademark Office has issued new procedures for trademark owners with trademarks due for renewal in 2026. The change reflects updates in the Nice Classification and requires some rights holders to file amendment applications(s) to maintain proper protection under Omani law.

For example, under the updated international framework (Nice Classification, 13th Edition), a number of items previously classified in Class 9 are now excluded. Although Oman continues to apply the 11th Edition of the Nice Classification, the Trademark Office’s recent notice clarifies that applicants seeking renewals in 2026 and beyond must take action if their specifications include goods no longer recognized in more recent international versions.

Trademark owners whose registrations include goods affected by the reclassification should file an amendment application. Such amendment may require removing items that are no longer classified under the registered mark, and may consider filing these items in a new separate trademark filing under the new classification.
