Trademark Registration in UAE
Register your brand name and logo with the UAE Ministry of Economy and protect it from copycats.
What this service covers
A UAE trademark gives you the exclusive right to use your brand name or logo for the goods and services you register, and the ability to act against anyone who copies it. Registration is with the UAE Ministry of Economy and covers all seven emirates.
We search for conflicts, choose the right classes, file the application and follow it through examination, publication and registration.
Who it is for
- New UAE companies launching a brand
- Indian and international brands entering the UAE
- E-commerce sellers and franchise businesses
- Owners of existing marks due for renewal

As a general guide, a UAE trademark is protected for ten years from filing and can be renewed for further ten-year periods. Each class is a separate application, so pick classes carefully.
What you will typically need.
Exact requirements depend on your activity and the authority involved. We give you a tailored checklist after the first consultation.
Government fees, timelines and eligibility vary by authority, emirate and business activity. We confirm a written estimate after an initial consultation, before you commit to anything.
Typical documents
- Trademark name and logo (high-resolution)
- List of goods or services
- Trade licence or passport of the owner
- Power of attorney (notarised and attested where signed abroad)
- Priority document if claiming an earlier filing
Common questions.
No. Trademark rights are territorial, so you need a UAE registration (directly or through an international filing designating the UAE).
Usually a few months, depending on examination and whether anyone opposes it.
Yes, as a combined mark, though separate filings for the word and logo give broader protection.
