## Common Pitfalls to Avoid
- ❌ Filing only wordmark without Arabic — limits enforcement in GCC
- ❌ Filing only 1 class (Class 9) — weakens SaaS protection
- ❌ Delaying filing until competitors emerge
- ❌ Filing individually then transferring to entity (creates paperwork)
- ❌ Not budgeting for oppositions (may add 20-30% to cost)
- ❌ Using free online trademark services for MENA (most don't handle Arabic properly)
