Get expert advice on Trademark Registration β free, no obligation.
Registering a trademark with the UAE Ministry of Economy gives you the exclusive right to use your brand name, logo or slogan in the classes you register. Protection lasts ten years and is indefinitely renewable.
Registration is class-based. A mark registered for consultancy services gives no protection against someone using the same name on clothing, so choosing the right Nice Classification classes decides how much protection you actually get. We advise on which classes matter for your business before filing.
After filing, the Ministry examines the application over three to six months, then publishes it for a thirty-day opposition window. If no opposition is raised, the certificate issues and protection runs for ten years from the filing date, renewable indefinitely.
