Judicial principle — Kuwait Court of Cassation

Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 1964

State of Kuwait · Commercial and Labour — Volume 9 · Ministry of Justice — Court of Cassation — Technical Office

English translation of the principle

A sole proprietorship. It is not a legal person with a separate patrimony, but rather forms part of its owner's patrimony. Its implication: registration of a trademark in its name is merely registration in its owner's name, and he becomes the owner of that trademark.
Arabic original
المنشأة الفردية. لاتعد شخصاً اعتبارياً له ذمة مستقلة بل هى جزء من ذمة صاحبها. مؤدى ذلك: أن تسجيل العلامة التجارية باسمها ما هو إلا تسجيل باسم صاحبها ويصبح هو المالك لهذه العلامة.
