Comprehensive Trademark Services in the UAE by Al Shamsi Law Firm
What are Trademarks, and How Do They Work in UAE?
Trademarks in the UAE are distinctive symbols, logos, or expressions used to identify and distinguish goods or services of one business from another.
Legal Protection: Registered trademarks enjoy legal protection, granting exclusive rights to their owners and preventing unauthorized use by competitors.
Duration of Protection: Trademarks are typically protected for ten years in the UAE, with the option to renew them indefinitely, ensuring long-term brand security.
Use Requirement: Regular use of a trademark is essential to maintain its validity, as non-use for a continuous period may lead to cancellation.
International Protection: The UAE is part of the Madrid Protocol, allowing businesses to extend their trademark protection internationally through a single application.
Infringement Actions: Trademark owners can take legal action against unauthorized use, protecting their brand from infringement or dilution.
Distinctiveness Criteria: Trademarks must be distinctive and not generic to be eligible for registration, promoting uniqueness in the marketplace.
Licensing and Assignments: Trademark owners can license or assign their rights to others, enabling strategic collaborations and brand expansion.
Enforcement: The UAE legal system provides mechanisms for enforcing trademark rights, ensuring a robust framework for brand protection.
Registration Process: To secure a trademark in the UAE, applicants must apply to the UAE Ministry of Economy, undergo examination, and upon approval, the trademark is officially registered.
