Qatar follows the international classification of goods and services, yet classes 1, 4 to 7, 10 to 14,16 to 22, 29 and 31 are not granted entirely under the Trademark Law. Products covered by class 33 and alcoholic drinks and beverages in class 32 are not registrable. The law has been amended so that a separate application should be filed with respect to each class of goods or services. According to the current procedures of registration, the Arabic transliteration of a word mark in Latin should be shown along with the Latin script, and both the Latin and Arabic scripts should be enclosed in a rectangular frame. The prints of a trademark originally in colours can be submitted in black and white, but the colours should be depicted by means of hatching prepared according to the Heraldic Code.
