UAE trademark registration legally protects your brand name, logo, or symbol, ensuring that no one else can copy, misuse, or benefit from your identity. A registered trademark builds trust, strengthens your brand reputation, and safeguards your business across all seven emirates.
Registering your trademark through the UAE Ministry of Economy gives you exclusive rights to use your brand on your products and services, turning it into a valuable business asset that supports long-term growth.
Trademark protection applies across all seven emirates under UAE Federal Law.
The UAE trademark registration certificate is valid for 10 years from the date of registration.
It can be renewed every 10 years by paying the renewal fee.
Once registered, your trademark becomes a transferable asset that can be licensed, franchised, or sold.
To apply for trademark registration, you will need:
Trademark application form
Sample of the trademark (name/logo/symbol)
Proof of fee payment
Valid trade license
Power of attorney (if using an agent/consultancy)
List of goods and services to be protected
Passport/ID copy of the authorised signatory
Applicant’s contact details (address, email, phone number)
Submitting complete and accurate documents helps avoid delays or rejection.
A detailed search ensures the brand you want to register is unique and not already claimed. This step prevents conflicts and protects your investment.
Prepare and submit required documents to the Ministry of Economy, including:
Trademark design
Trade license
Authorised signatory’s ID
Power of attorney (if applicable)
The application details must match the trade license to avoid issues.
Trademark registration involves fees at various stages:
Initial application
Publication
Final registration
Certificate issuance
The Ministry reviews your application for legal compliance and any conflicts with existing trademarks.
If issues arise, the application may be returned with comments or rejected.
Once approved, the trademark is published in the Official Gazette and two local Arabic newspapers.
A 30-day objection period begins, during which third parties may oppose the registration.
If no objections are filed (or if resolved in your favor), the Ministry issues the UAE Trademark Registration Certificate, which includes:
Registration number
Application & registration dates
Owner’s details
Trademark design
Class of goods/services protected
This certificate grants full legal protection and allows you to take action against misuse, counterfeiting, or infringement.
ABC Typing Center helps companies obtain a Trademark Certificate to protect their brand logo, title, and tagline from duplication. Below are the step-by-step procedures to get a trademark certificate in the UAE.
1. Register and Fill Application Form
The first step is to search and confirm that your trademark is not already in use. Once the brand elements are selected, ABC Typing Center assists you in submitting the required documents along with the trademark registration form through the Ministry of Economy online portal.
2. Initial Approval Fees
You must pay the initial approval fees for the trademark application. ABC Typing Center supports you with document preparation, application submission, legal translation, and fee processing.
3. Application Review by the Ministry
The Ministry of Economy reviews your trademark application. If any information or document is missing, the application may be rejected. If everything is correct, you will receive initial approval for your trademark request.
4. Publication in Local Newspapers
After approval, your trademark will be published in two UAE local newspapers. Any objections must be filed within 30 days of publication.
5. Final Trademark Registration Fees
Once the objection period is over and no issues are raised, the Ministry completes the review and processes the final registration.
The trademark certificate will include:
– Registration number
– Application and approval dates
– Owner and business details
– Trademark details (logo/name/tagline)
– Description of protected goods and services
6. Issuance of the Trademark Registration Certificate
A UAE Trademark Certificate is valid for 10 years and can be renewed upon payment of renewal fees. This certificate legally protects your brand from copying, misuse, or counterfeiting and can be used in case of infringement.
While trademark registration may seem simple, even small mistakes in class selection, documentation, or submission can lead to rejection or delays.
