Given the recent trend in going paperless in the region, the Trademark Office in West Bank is planning on introducing an electronic platform for the filing of trademark applications in the near future. We expect this new practice to pave the way for a smoother trademark registration process in West Bank and to accelerate the introduction of further electronic services at the TMO.
