Following the recent GCC Supreme Council meeting, the GCC Patent
office will no longer be accepting new patent filings as of January
6th 2021. At the 41st Supreme Council meeting, held on the 5th of
January 2021, a decision was made to amend the existing GCC Patent
Law, which has been subsequently approved.
The GCC Patent Office will continue to operate with regard to
pending and granted patents. Alternative measures include national
patent applications, and/or designating each Gulf state in a PCT
application.
