Before filing for trademark registration in the UAE, it is highly recommended to conduct a trademark search. Although not mandatory, this step helps identify any existing trademarks that may conflict with yours, reducing the risk of future legal disputes.
Once the search is complete, you can proceed with filing your trademark application. This must be done through an authorized trademark agent in the UAE, as foreign companies cannot file directly. At Legacy Partners, we assist clients in navigating this process smoothly and efficiently.
After submission, the Ministry of Economy’s Trademark Office will examine the application. They will check for compliance with UAE trademark laws, ensuring the mark is distinctive and not in conflict with existing trademarks. If the application is accepted, it moves to the publication stage.
Once accepted, the trademark is published in the official Trademark Journal. This allows any third party 30 days to raise an opposition to the registration. If no opposition is filed within this period, the registration process can continue.
If no oppositions are raised, or if any opposition is successfully resolved, the final registration fees are paid. The Ministry will then issue the Trademark Registration Certificate, granting you exclusive rights to your mark in the UAE. The trademark is valid for 10 years and can be renewed indefinitely.

A trademark is a distinctive sign, logo, word, symbol, or combination of these elements that differentiates your goods or services from others. Registering a trademark in the UAE provides legal protection, ensuring that others cannot use your brand without permission, and strengthens your intellectual property rights in the region.
You can register various types of trademarks in the UAE, including brand names, logos, slogans, shapes of goods, or even sound marks. However, the mark must be distinctive and not misleading or identical to existing trademarks.
Any individual, company, or organization engaged in commercial, industrial, or service activities can apply for trademark registration in the UAE. Foreign entities can also register trademarks, provided they meet local legal requirements.
The process involves several steps:
- Conducting a trademark search to ensure the mark is available.
- Filing the application with the UAE Ministry of Economy.
- Undergoing an examination to ensure the mark meets the requirements.
- Publication of the application in two local newspapers for opposition.
- Issuance of a registration certificate if no opposition is raised.
The entire process, from filing the application to receiving the certificate, can take between 6 to 12 months. The timeline may vary depending on opposition or any procedural delays.
A registered trademark in the UAE is valid for 10 years from the date of filing. After the 10-year period, it can be renewed indefinitely for successive 10-year periods, provided the renewal fees are paid on time.
Yes, trademarks can be registered in multiple classes based on the Nice Classification system. Each class covers different categories of goods and services, and separate applications and fees are required for each class.
If an opposition is filed within 30 days of the trademark's publication, you will need to respond to the opposition within the specified time frame. If you do not, your application may be rejected. The matter will be reviewed by the Trademark Office, which will issue a decision.
The fees for UAE trademark registration include application fees, publication costs, and issuance fees, which can vary depending on the number of classes and other factors. It's important to budget for renewal fees every 10 years as well.
Failing to register your trademark means you have no exclusive legal rights over your brand in the UAE. This leaves your business vulnerable to trademark infringement, where competitors may use your name or logo, causing potential financial and reputational harm.
