Trademark Registration in Dubai, UAE
Protecting your brand in the UAE’s competitive market begins with securing your intellectual property. Trademark registration is a vital step for any business, whether you’re a startup, an SME, or a multinational corporation. Let’s explore how trademark registration services in Dubai can help your business succeed.
What is a Trademark Registration?
A trademark represents your brand—this can be a symbol, logo, name, or unique design that distinguishes your products or services from others in the marketplace. When you register a trademark, you gain legal protection, ensuring that no other entity can use your brand elements without your consent.
In the UAE, trademark registration is governed by Federal Law No. 36 of 2021. This law safeguards your brand across all seven Emirates: Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, and Umm Al Quwain. With this, your trademark is protected against unauthorized use or infringement.

Step-by-Step Process to Register a Trademark in UAE
Navigating the trademark registration process may seem difficult; however, it can be broken down into manageable steps:
1. Conduct a Trademark Search
- Before applying, ensure that your desired trademark is not already registered. This preemptive step helps avoid future disputes and delays.
2. Submit Your Application
- Applications must be filed through the UAE Ministry of Economy's online portal. Essential documents include:
- A representation of the trademark
- A copy of the trade license
- A power of attorney
- A passport copy
- Any priority document if applicable
- A list detailing the goods and services linked to your trademark
3. Pay the Trademark Registration Fees
- The associated fees typically include application filing (AED 750), publication costs (AED 750), and registration charges (AED 5,000). Consider additional costs for translations and legal support.
4. Publication in Local Newspapers
- Once accepted, your trademark will be published in two Arabic-language newspapers, allowing 30 days for public objections.
5. Receive Your Registration Certificate
- If no objections are raised during the publication period, you'll receive a certificate granting you exclusive rights for 10 years.
