Trademark registration in the UAE — protect your company's name and logo
After you set up your company, its name and logo are among its most important assets. Registration gives you a legal right that stops others from using or copying your mark.
Why register your trademark?
The trade name on the license does not mean your mark is protected. A mark is protected by registering it as a trademark with the competent authority in the country.
And if you don't register it, someone else may register it before you and stop you from using it. Registering early is far cheaper than a legal dispute later.
- An exclusive legal right to use the mark in specific classes
- The ability to take legal action against copycats
- Added value when selling the company or granting a franchise
- Greater trust among customers, banks and partners

The protection period and renewal
A trademark in the UAE is registered for ten years, renewable. We follow the renewal dates for you so you don't lose your right.
It is advisable to register the mark in parallel with setting up the company, because the most important thing about a mark is to register it before it becomes well known.

Common questions, clear answers.
How long does trademark protection last?
Ten years, renewable, and we remind you of the renewal before it is due.

Can more than one class be registered?
Yes, the mark is registered in the classes you work in. We help you choose them to cover your current and future activity.
