About This Service

What is UAE Trademark Registration?

UAE Trademark Registration is the process of legally protecting a brand name, logo, slogan, or other distinctive mark in the United Arab Emirates under the Federal Law No. 36 of 2021 on Trademarks (superseding the earlier Federal Law No. 37 of 1992). It is administered by the Ministry of Economy (MoE) through its online trademark portal.

A registered UAE trademark gives the owner exclusive rights to use the mark for the registered goods/services across all seven UAE emirates, and provides legal basis to take action against infringers. Registration is valid for 10 years from the application filing date and is renewable indefinitely.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Both Indian individuals and companies can register trademarks in the UAE through the Ministry of Economy portal. UAE follows the Paris Convention, so priority can be claimed within 6 months of Indian trademark filing.

The complete process typically takes 6–12 months — including examination (3–6 months), gazette publication (30-day opposition period), and certificate issuance.

A UAE trademark is valid for 10 years from the filing date and can be renewed indefinitely every 10 years by paying the renewal fee before expiry.

No. Trademark protection is territorial — Indian registration only protects your brand in India. A separate UAE trademark application must be filed for UAE protection. However, your Indian registration date can be used to claim priority in UAE within 6 months.

You can file a criminal complaint (up to 2 years imprisonment and AED 50,000–1,000,000 fine) or a civil suit for damages and permanent injunction. Customs recordal can block infringing imports at UAE ports.
