Trademark registration in the UAE.

November 24, 2021 - by Mediation DMCC

The procedure for trademark registration in the UAE is straightforward, however, it is critical to follow. If you want to register your company’s trademark in the United Arab Emirates, complete these steps:

The first step in the UAE trademark registration process is to ensure that the trademark isn’t currently in use by another company. You will not be allowed to register a trademark if it is currently in use by someone else. You may accomplish this by using tools like Marcaria to look for the trademark online. You can proceed with the next steps of trademark registration in the UAE once you’re satisfied the trademark isn’t already in use.

Fill out the online application form on the Ministry of Economy’s website, which is the official authority that oversees trademark applications, to register a trademark in the UAE. To do so, go to the website’s homepage and click on ‘Services,’ then ‘e-Services,’ from the dropdown menu. Once you’ve been linked to the other page, pick ‘Trademarks’ from the Services page and click ‘Trademark Registration’ under New Applications. Complete the application form and attach the necessary documents.

The documents required for trademark registration in the UAE are as follows:

  • Trademark Logo
  • Copy of Trade Licence
  • Power of Attorney
  • Passport Copy
  • Priority Document
  • List of Goods and Services to be protected

Other documents may be required on a case-by-case basis. Once you have uploaded the necessary documents, you can submit the application.

Once you have submitted your application, you will need to pay the required fees for the UAE trademark registration. Applicants will need to pay AED 8,700 for the trademark or brand registration in the UAE. This trademark registration cost in the UAE does not include any legal and translation fees that you may have to pay. Applicants can pay trademark registration in the UAE cost through the Ministry of Economy website itself.

You must pay the applicable fees for UAE trademark registration after submitting your application. For trademark or brand registration in the UAE, applicants would need to spend AED 8,700. This trademark registration cost in the UAE does not include any legal or translation fees. The Ministry of Economy’s website allows applicants to pay for trademark registration in the UAE.

Your application for trademark registration in the UAE will be reviewed by the Ministry of Economy after it has been submitted. When filling out the application, you must be careful and precise, since any missing or incorrect information can result in your application being rejected. Applicants can, however, challenge or revise their applications as needed if this occurs.

If there are no concerns with your application, the Ministry of Economy will usually approve it within 30 days.

After your trademark registration in the UAE has been approved, you must have an announcement of your trademark published in the official journal as well as two local newspapers. To get your trademark published in the official trademark journal, you must pay the Ministry of Economy AED 1,000, which will be published on your behalf. However, applicants will be forced to pay an extra fee to have the trademark notification published in two local Arabic-language publications.

Some newspapers where you can publish the announcement of your trademark are:

Members of the public have 30 days to object to your trademark after it has been published in two Arabic-language publications in the UAE. If someone files an objection to your trademark during that time period, the Ministry of Economy will consider it and either reject it or notify you.

However, applicants should keep in mind that the Ministry of Economy only releases the notification at the end of each month, so they may have to wait nearly two months to have their trademark registered in the UAE.

If no objections to your trademark have been received during that time period, the Ministry of Economy will issue you a certificate of registration for your trademark in the UAE. The trademark registration number, the trade name and owner’s name, the trademark itself, and a description of the goods and services that fall under it will all be included in the certificate.
