Qatar: Reduction of Certain IP Services Official Fees

DOHA - The Ministry of Commerce and Industry announced the implementation of Ministerial Decision No. 60 of 2024, issued by His Excellency Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad bin Qassim Al Thani, the Minister of Commerce and Industry, to reduce certain services fees provided by the ministry, effective from July 11, 2024.

The fee reductions cover essential services provided by the Ministry, such as commercial registration, licensing, corporate services, and IP rights protection, including patents and industrial designs. The new fees are now in effect.
