Naming Guidelines for Cities and Zones
Saudi Arabia has agreed to establish regulations for the marketing names of cities and economic zones. These regulations stipulate that the names should have meaningful connections to their purpose or activity, be innovative, and may include Arabic or foreign words. The names must also be clear and not provoke political, racial, or religious sensitivities. An official committee headed by the Ministry of Investment will review applications to ensure they meet these criteria, with a maximum processing time of 30 days to decide on applications. Additionally, names must not be similar to existing country names or protected trademarks. It is emphasized that a recommendation for approval does not constitute trademark registration, and rights to existing names must be preserved without interference when changing or updating them.
