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.

It's important to
note that the process may vary slightly depending on the specifics of your trademark and the evolving legal landscape, so consulting with a trademark attorney or expert in Dubai is highly recommended to navigate this process successfully.
