Trade Mark Registration

UAE Trademark Registration

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.

Validity and Scope of Trademark Registration in UAE

  • 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.

Documents Required for UAE Trademark Registration

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.

Trademark Registration Process in the UAE

1. Trademark Search

A detailed search ensures the brand you want to register is unique and not already claimed. This step prevents conflicts and protects your investment.

2. Document Preparation

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.

3. Payment of Fees

Trademark registration involves fees at various stages:

  • Initial application

  • Publication

  • Final registration

  • Certificate issuance

4. Examination by the Ministry of Economy

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.

5. Publication in Newspapers

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.

6. Final Registration & Certificate Issuance

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.
