Judicial principle — Kuwait Court of Cassation

Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 808

State of Kuwait · Civil Matters — Volume 10 · Ministry of Justice — Court of Cassation — Technical Office

English translation of the principle

A sole proprietorship. It is not a juridical person with an independent patrimony but is part of its owner's patrimony. Its implication: registration of a trademark in its name is nothing other than registration in its owner's name, and he becomes the owner of that trademark.
Arabic original
المنشأة الفردية. لا تعد شخصاً اعتبارياً له ذمة مستقلة بل هي جزء من ذمة صاحبها. مؤدى ذلك: أن تسجيل العلامة التجارية بإسمها ما هو إلا تسجيل بإسم صاحبها ويصبح هو المالك لهذه العلامة.
