Trademark Registration UAE
What Is a Trademark Registration?
Trademarks are a brand name, symbol or logo that is used to identify goods or services provided by a specific company. A trademark can be a name, words, signature, letter, symbol, drawing, figure, inscription, image or advertisement used to distinguish a set of products, goods and services as either belonging to a certain owner or coming from a certain source.
There are many benefits to registering trademarks in the UAE, such as protecting your brand and ensuring that other companies cannot copy or imitate your trademark. The UAE’s Ministry of Economy is the official authority that governs the registration, renewal and cancellation of trademarks.

What can be registered in the UAE as a trademark?
Even though a brand can be identified by a wide range of traits, laws govern which of those traits can be protected by a trademark. Any type of label that helps to distinguish one product from another, including signatures, titles, characters, seals, posters, engravings, names, and paintings, can be trademarked. Geographical names, banknote designs, information about honorary degrees, and marks that might mislead the public or actually violate public order are not considered to be trademarkable, according to Article 3 of Federal Law No. 37 of 1992.
