Why Register?

Turn Your Brand Into Something You Own.

A registered trademark gives your business more than a name. It gives you legal rights, stronger brand protection and an asset you can build on.

Your trademark can become one of your business's most valuable intangible assets.

01
Exclusive Rights

Protect your registered name, logo or slogan within the classes of goods and services covered by your UAE trademark.

02
10 Years of Protection

Your UAE trademark registration provides protection for 10 years and can be renewed indefinitely.

03
Legal Firepower

A registered mark strengthens your position when dealing with infringement, counterfeit goods and brand misuse.

04
Business Value

A registered trademark can support licensing, franchising, investment and future brand expansion.

The Registration Journey

From Brand Search to Protection.

Your trademark passes through several stages before it becomes officially registered. TFZ manages each stage and keeps you informed throughout the process.

STEP 01

Search & Assessment

Before filing, we check the UAE trademark register for potentially conflicting marks. This helps identify possible obstacles before government filing fees are committed.

STEP 02

Filing

Once the mark and appropriate classes have been assessed, the application is submitted to the UAE Ministry of Economy with the required trademark details.

Examination & Publication

The Ministry examines the application. If the mark is approved, it is published for a 30-day opposition period, allowing third parties the opportunity to raise an objection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything You Need to Know About Trademarks

From registration costs and eligible marks to international protection and existing brand conflicts, here are answers to the questions businesses ask most.

Government fees apply per trademark per class, in addition to professional fees. The total cost depends on how many classes your business needs. TFZ recommends the minimum classes that genuinely protect your business and provides a transparent quote before filing.

Names, logos, slogans and distinctive combinations can generally be registered. Marks that are purely descriptive, generic or contrary to public order may not qualify. TFZ carries out a pre-filing assessment to identify potential issues before submission.

Trademarks are territorial, so a UAE registration protects your brand in the UAE. International protection can also be pursued through the Madrid Protocol, allowing protection to be extended to multiple countries through a single international application.

Speak to us as soon as possible. If the other party has not registered the mark, filing promptly may put you in a stronger position. If they have already registered it, TFZ can assess possible opposition, negotiation or other available options.
