Trademark Registration in UAE

Trademark registration in UAE creates a formal legal record of your rights over a registered brand name, logo or other eligible mark for the goods or services covered by the registration.

Businesses, entrepreneurs, companies and eligible foreign applicants can apply for UAE trademark registration. Depending on the mark, you may seek protection for brand names, words, logos, symbols, slogans and other distinctive elements.

The UAE handles trademark registration at the federal level through the Ministry of Economy & Tourism. Therefore, businesses searching for trademark registration Dubai or trademark registration Abu Dhabi generally follow the same federal UAE trademark registration system.

Businesses choose Trademark Registration UAE for several reasons. Registration helps establish ownership, strengthen brand protection, discourage unauthorised use and create a stronger legal basis when dealing with infringement.

If your company plans to invest significantly in marketing, packaging, advertising or expansion, protecting the brand early can also reduce future commercial risks.

Trademark Registration Cost in UAE

The total cost depends on the number of trademark classes, the government fees, professional assistance and any additional requirements for your application.

Our advertised professional service price starts at AED 10,000 + VAT per trademark, per class. Ask us for a written quotation that confirms the exact scope of service and all applicable charges.

Government fees shown above are separate from professional service charges. Confirm the current official fee schedule and how each charge applies to your application before payment.

Our Trademark Registration Services in UAE

We support businesses with the main stages of trademark registration and ongoing brand protection.

1. Trademark Search and Availability Check

Before filing, check for identical or similar trademarks that could conflict with your proposed brand. We can help review relevant search results and identify potential concerns involving names, logos, spelling, pronunciation and trademark classes.

A search can help you make a better-informed decision, although it cannot guarantee approval.

2. Trademark Class Selection

The UAE uses the Nice Classification system, which contains 45 classes for goods and services. Selecting the right class helps define the scope of protection you seek.

For example, Class 25 covers clothing and footwear, Class 35 covers advertising and business services, and Class 42 covers various technology and software services.

Your choice should reflect the products or services associated with your brand, including any relevant expansion plans.

3. Trademark Application Filing

We help prepare the trademark representation, applicant information, goods and services description and supporting documents. We can then assist with filing through the applicable UAE Ministry process.

Accurate information at this stage helps reduce avoidable administrative issues.

4. Trademark Objection and Opposition Support

The Ministry may raise an objection during examination, or a third party may oppose a published application. These situations require a review of the specific grounds, evidence and applicable deadlines.

We can help assess the next steps and coordinate the relevant response or specialist support where required. Outcomes depend on the facts and applicable law.

5. Trademark Registration and Certificate

After the application meets the registration requirements, the applicant must complete the remaining formalities and pay the applicable final registration fee.

The Ministry then issues the registration certificate in accordance with its procedure. We can assist with application follow-up and the remaining administrative steps.

6. Trademark Renewal Services

UAE trademark registrations generally provide protection for 10 years from the filing date. Owners can apply for renewal under the applicable rules.

We can help businesses track renewal dates, prepare documentation and manage renewal formalities.

7. Trademark Infringement and Brand Protection

If another party uses a potentially conflicting mark, you should first review your registration, the nature of the use and the evidence available.

We can help you understand the available options for documenting suspected infringement and pursuing appropriate next steps. The suitable route depends on the circumstances of the case.

How to Register a Trademark in UAE

The UAE trademark registration process involves several stages. Here is what you can expect.

Step 1: Choose Your Brand Name or Logo

Identify the exact word mark, logo, slogan or other distinctive element you want to protect. Check that it accurately represents the brand you use or intend to use.

Step 2: Conduct a Trademark Search

Search for existing identical and similar marks. Review the relevant goods and services classes instead of relying only on an exact-name search.

Step 3: Select the Appropriate Class

Identify the goods or services associated with your trademark. An application covering several classes may involve additional government fees.

Step 4: Prepare the Required Documents

Gather applicant details, a clear representation of the mark, the goods and services description and any supporting documents required for your application.

Step 5: Submit the Application

File the application through the applicable Ministry process and pay the required government fee.

Step 6: Complete Examination and Publication

The Ministry examines the application. If it accepts the mark for publication, the applicant must complete the publication requirements.

Step 7: Allow for the Opposition Period

Third parties generally have 30 days from publication to file an opposition. Any opposition may affect the time and steps needed to complete registration.

Step 8: Complete Final Registration

If the application clears the required stages, pay the final registration fee and complete the remaining formalities to obtain the certificate.

How Long Does Trademark Registration Take in UAE?

The overall timeline depends on examination, publication, opposition and final registration. Objections, disputes, incomplete documents and other case-specific issues may extend the process.

We recommend confirming the expected timeline when you submit your application rather than relying on a guaranteed completion date.

Documents Required for Trademark Registration in UAE

The required documents depend on the applicant, the mark and the filing circumstances. Common requirements may include:

• Applicant’s full legal name and contact details.
• Company details and commercial licence, where applicable.
• A clear copy or representation of the proposed trademark.
• A description of the relevant goods and services.
• The appropriate trademark class or classes.
• A Power of Attorney, where required.
• Arabic translation, notarisation or legalisation where applicable.

Foreign applicants may need to appoint a registered trademark agent and provide a properly executed Power of Attorney. Confirm the precise requirements before preparing or certifying documents.

What Can You Register as a Trademark?

Depending on the applicable requirements, you may be able to register:

• Brand names: Distinctive names that identify your business or products.
• Logos: Original visual marks that distinguish your brand.
• Product names: Eligible names associated with specific products.
• Service marks: Distinctive marks associated with services.
• Slogans: Phrases that function as brand identifiers.
• Symbols and other marks: Eligible distinctive elements recognised under UAE trademark rules.

Not every proposed mark qualifies. Generic descriptions, certain prohibited elements and marks that conflict with earlier rights may face refusal.

A trademark search and eligibility review can help identify concerns before you invest in an application.

Is trademark registration in Dubai different from registration elsewhere in the UAE?

The standard national trademark registration process operates at the federal level through the UAE Ministry of Economy & Tourism. The process is not a separate Dubai-only registration system.

Can a foreign company register a trademark in UAE?

Foreign businesses may apply subject to the applicable requirements. Applicants outside the UAE may need to appoint a registered trademark agent and submit the required Power of Attorney and supporting documents.

Can I register a logo and a brand name together?

You may apply for a word mark, a logo or another eligible mark. The right filing approach depends on what you want to protect. Separate applications or registrations may be appropriate for different marks.

How many trademark classes do I need?

That depends on your products and services. Select the classes that accurately cover your business activities. Each additional class can affect the total government and professional fees.

How long does trademark registration take?

The timeline depends on examination, publication, the opposition period and final registration. Objections, oppositions or document issues may cause delays, so no single completion date suits every application.

How long does a UAE trademark remain valid?

A UAE trademark generally remains valid for 10 years from its filing date and can be renewed in accordance with the applicable rules.

Can I check trademark availability before applying?

Yes. A trademark search can help identify identical or similar existing marks in relevant classes. However, a search result does not guarantee that the Ministry will approve your application.

What happens if the Ministry objects to my application?

The next step depends on the grounds of objection and the applicable deadlines. Review the decision carefully and seek suitable assistance to determine whether a response or another available procedure may help.

Can I register a trademark without a UAE trade licence?

Eligibility and documentation depend on the applicant and the applicable filing requirements. Individuals and foreign applicants may have different requirements from UAE companies. Confirm your circumstances before filing.
