How to Register Your Brand in the UAE
I. Understand Your Brand and Perform a Trademark Search
The first stride involves recognizing the constituents of your brand, a singular mix of name, symbol, signature, figure, or title, abiding by UAE’s public morals and public order. Then, carry out an exhaustive trademark inquiry to verify that your prospective brand or logo is not already registered or under process of registration by another UAE entity.
II. Prepare and Submit Your Application
Once you’ve verified your brand’s uniqueness, gather the necessary documents. These include a power of attorney, a copy of your trade license (if you’re a company), and a detailed description and sample of your brand/logo. If these are not in Arabic, they must be translated by a legal translator. You can then submit your application to the Trademarks Registration Office at the Ministry of Economy. Upon acceptance, your brand will be advertised in two local newspapers for public visibility.
III. Handle Objections and Finalize Registration
Post-publicity of your brand, there’s a 30-day allowance for discrepancies to be raised. In the absence of any objections, or if you successfully navigate any discrepancies, your brand gets formally registered, and you receive a registration certificate. This ultimate step blends patience and proactive problem-solving, ensuring your brand’s recognition in the UAE market.
