A trademark, in legal terms, is a recognizable symbol, sign, name, word, or design that distinguishes and identifies the products or services offered by a specific individual, company, or organization from those of others. Trademarks play a pivotal role in branding, aiding consumers in effortlessly recognizing and discerning among various goods and services in the marketplace.

A trademark is a specialized form of intellectual property, primarily associated with logos and brand names, serving as distinctive identifiers for products or services in the marketplace. However, there are various other distinct forms of intellectual property, each with its unique focus:

  • Patents: Patents are employed to protect new technologies, inventions, novel ideas, processes, and methods. They grant exclusive rights to the inventor or creator for a specified period, allowing them to control the use and commercialization of their invention.
  • Copyrights: Copyrights safeguard literary, artistic, and dramatic works, as well as musical compositions and computer software. They provide creators with the exclusive right to reproduce, distribute, and display their original works, ensuring the protection of their creative expressions.
  • Industrial Designs: Industrial designs are employed to protect the unique shapes, patterns, or ornamentation applied to industrially produced objects. They prevent others from replicating the visual aspects of a product's design, helping maintain its distinctiveness in the market.

While all these forms of intellectual property aim to protect various aspects of creativity and innovation, trademarks specifically focus on branding elements, ensuring consumers can identify and differentiate products or services from one another.

In the UAE, a wide range of elements can be registered as trademarks, including but not limited to:

  • Names
  • Words
  • Signatures
  • Letters
  • Figures
  • Graphics
  • Logos
  • Titles
  • Hallmarks
  • Seals

These trademarks can be registered if they are either currently in use or intended to be used for the purpose of distinguishing goods, products, or services from various sources or to signify that specific services, goods, or products are associated with the trademark owner due to their provision, manufacture, selection, or trade.

When it comes to trademark registration in the UAE, certain restrictions are in place. The authorities prohibit the registration of the following types of properties as trademarks:

  • Descriptive Marks or non-distinctive marks.
  • Marks that go against public morals or public order.
  • Flags resembling those of any country, international organization, or government.
  • Emblems and logos of a similar nature.
  • Logos associated with the Red Cross, Red Crescent, or any imitation of such organizations.
  • Marks that closely resemble symbols with purely religious significance.
  • Usage of geographic names that may lead to confusion about the origin of a product or service.

Translated versions of well-known marks or already registered trademarks if they have the potential to confuse consumers.

Registering your trademark offers several key advantages, including:

  • Brand Protection: By registering your trademark, you gain the legal authority to limit others from using your mark, safeguarding your brand's unique identity.
  • Maximized Business Value: Trademark registration enhances the overall value of your business, as it becomes a valuable asset with protected legal rights.
  • Marketing Tool: Your registered trademark serves as a powerful marketing tool, helping you grow your brand's recognition and reputation.
  • Legal Recourse: In the event of trademark infringement, registration enables you to take legal action against those who copy or misuse your trademark, ensuring your brand's integrity is maintained.

Trademark Classes in UAE Registration

The trademark class system is a categorization framework used for registering trademarks in the UAE. Under this system, trademarks are classified into specific ‘classes,’ with each class encompassing different types of products and services.

In total, there are 45 international classes, and it is possible to register trademarks in 44 of these classes in the UAE. To secure trademark protection for your brand, a separate application is required for each class that aligns with the goods or services you offer.

Selecting the appropriate trademark class is of paramount importance for ensuring necessary protection and avoiding unnecessary costs. Registering your trademark in classes that are not relevant to your goods or services can be both costly and unnecessary.

Trademark Search

Trademark Search Performing a trademark search at the Trademark Registry is crucial as it allows you to ascertain if there are existing prior rights associated with your proposed trademark. This search is instrumental in gauging the likelihood of success for your application and is strongly advised before initiating the trademark application process in the UAE.

Trademark Regulation in the UAE The Ministry of Economy in the United Arab Emirates holds the reins when it comes to trademark registration, renewal, and revocation. Overseeing all seven Emirates—Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah, Ajman, Fujairah, and Umm Al Quwain—the primary law governing trademarks is the Federal Law on Trade Marks (No. 36 of 2021). Remarkably, a Registration Certificate of Trademark in the UAE holds validity across all seven states.

Trademark Validity in the UAE Trademarks in the UAE remain valid for a period of 10 years, starting from the date of the initial application. To continue protection beyond this period, the applicant is required to renew the trademark for an additional ten-year term.

It’s important to note that this registration exclusively safeguards the trademark within the seven emirates of the UAE and does not provide protection in other parts of the world.

For the registration of a trademark in the UAE, the following documents are required:

  • Trademark Logo
  • Copy of Trade License
  • Power of Attorney (PoA)
  • Passport Copy
  • Priority Document
  • List of Goods & Services to be Protected

Official fees for the publication of the trademark in the official gazette are also required to be paid at this stage. The deadline to pay the final registration fees is calculated from the last day of the opposition period, with a 30-day deadline.
