As of 3 August 2024, it is now possible to designate Qatar within the Madrid filing system, making it the fourth member of the Gulf Cooperation Council available for registration under this system and providing brand owners with a new avenue to consider when securing registration for their trade mark rights in the region.

Filing through the Madrid system, which is commonly known as an "International Registration" or "IR", allows for a trade mark to be protected in up to 131 countries under a single umbrella application and provides for the centralised maintenance of these rights, often making it a cost-effective and convenient way to secure and manage trade mark protection across the world.
