Why the first to file is usually strongest, and how to protect your name before launch.
Read the transcript
You named your brand. Someone else can still own it. In the UAE, the first to file is usually in the strongest position. We search for conflicts before you pay any filing fee. Once registered, your trademark is protected for ten years, and renewable. Protect the name before you launch it. Book a free call, or message us on WhatsApp.
Is this for you?

- Want to license, franchise or sell your brand later
- Have a registration abroad and need UAE protection
Probably not for you if you
- Need a patent or design registration: different process, which we can refer
- Want to register a name that conflicts with an existing mark: we will tell you before you file

How it works
The UAE trademark process
Typical timelines under the standard route. A faster examination route exists, but publication and the opposition period are fixed by law.
- Days 1 to 3
Clearance search
Conflicts checked and a filing recommendation in writing.
- Week 1
Application filed
One application per class, with the mark and specification.
- Up to about 3 months
Examination
The Ministry reviews the application; we answer any objection.
- After acceptance
Publication and 30-day opposition
Third parties may object; we monitor and respond.
- Typically 3 to 6 months in total
Registration
Certificate issued, protection dated from filing.
Fees
A fixed fee per class, government fees itemised
UAE filings are per class, so the number of classes is the biggest factor in the cost.
What sets your cost
- Number of classes your goods and services need
- Word mark, logo, or both
- Whether objections or oppositions need a response
- Urgency, if the faster examination route is used
Government charges are always shown separately from our fee, so you can see exactly what you are paying us for.

Trademark registration FAQs
Before you decide
Anything else? Ask on WhatsApp and the person who handles trademark filings will answer.
How long does UAE trademark registration take?
Typically three to six months through the standard route, covering examination, publication and the 30-day opposition period. A faster examination route can shorten the first stage.
How long does a UAE trademark last?
Ten years from the filing date, renewable for further ten-year periods.
How many classes do I need?
As many as your goods and services fall into. Each UAE application covers one class, so we map your business to the classes that matter and tell you which are optional.
Can I register before my company is formed?
Yes, in your own name, and assign it to the company later as a recorded change of ownership.
Does a UAE trademark protect me in other countries?
No. Registration covers the UAE only. Other countries need their own filings, or an international application through the Madrid system, which the UAE has joined.
