The merchant aims to attract customers, control the market, compete legitimately and takes the trademark as a way to achieve it, the greater the fame of the brand, the greater its popularity and financial value. This leads others to try to take advantage of the reputation and popularity of this brand by simulating, copying or falsifying it, which harms the owners of trademarks and consumers and negatively affects the development of the national economy. The regulation of well-known trademarks is a national necessity and an international requirement, and therefore Arab laws and international conventions "The Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property and the Agreement on the Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights from International Trade" (TRIPS) all implemented special regulations of well-known trademarks.
