Bahrain trade mark office closure

The Bahrain Trade Mark and Patent Office will be closed from Tuesday 17 August 2016 until Tuesday 23 August 2016. The reason for the closure is the relocation of the office (to Bahrain Financial Harbour Tower, 5th Floor).

The Office has not issued any statement regarding deadlines which fall due during the period of closure. It is therefore necessary to work on the basis that deadlines will fall due as normal during the period of closure and that they will need to be met before the closure.
