Frequently Asked Questions

Trademark Registration Process in the UAE
As a brief explanation for the registration procedure, once we receive your instructions and necessary documents, we will then submit the application and documentation to the Trademark Office. The Trademark Office will examine the application and notify us whether the application is accepted (with or without any conditions of limitations). Once accepted, the application will be published in the Trademark Journal and must also be published in two local newspapers. After publication, there is a period of 30 days during which written objections to registration may be filed with the Trademark Office by third parties. If any objections are received, these will be forwarded to us within 15 days of filing and we will notify you accordingly. We will have 30 days to respond to any objections received. Based on the objections received and our response, the Trademark Office will determine whether or not to approve registration. If no objections are received within the initial 30 days, or if, following receipt of objections and responses, the Trademark Office decides to approve the registration, the registration will be completed and a registration certificate will be issued. The time span for completing the registration formalities ranges from 8 to 12 months in the normal course of events. Naturally, in the case of any objection by the Trademark Office or any third party against the mark, the procedure would be longer and separate fees is applicable which is mentioned in the attached sheet. The single class system is followed in U.A.E. The registration period is for ten years, after which the registration may be renewed for subsequent ten-year periods.
