Our Process
Certainly, here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the process of trademark registration in Dubai
Determine Eligibility
Ensure that your trademark is eligible for registration. It should be unique, distinctive, and not already registered by someone else.
Conduct a Trademark Search
Perform a comprehensive trademark search to confirm that your desired trademark is available for registration and doesn't conflict with existing trademarks.
Identify the Appropriate Class
Determine the class or classes of goods and services that your trademark will cover. The International Classification of Goods and Services (Nice Classification) is commonly used.
Prepare and Submit the Application
Prepare a trademark registration application with detailed information about your trademark, including a clear representation of the mark, its description, and the list of goods or services it will represent.
Submit the application to the UAE Ministry of Economy's Intellectual Property Department (IPD).
Publication in the Official Gazette
If your application passes examination, your trademark will be published in the Official Gazette. This allows third parties to oppose the registration within a specific timeframe.
Issuance of Certificate
After the publication period and potential opposition, if your trademark registration is successful, you will receive a trademark registration certificate.
Payment of Registration Fees
Pay the necessary registration fees and maintain your trademark by renewing it every 10 years.
Trademark Protection
Your registered trademark is now legally protected in Dubai and the broader United Arab Emirates (UAE). You have exclusive rights to use your trademark in connection with the registered goods or services.
