IP & Trademark Registration
The UAE is a first-to-file jurisdiction: whoever registers the mark owns it. We search, file and defend trademarks in the UAE and coordinate protection across the GCC and internationally via Madrid.
Registration runs through the Ministry of Economy: availability search, application, examination, publication and grant. We manage oppositions if a third party challenges, and we file across the classes that actually cover how you trade, not just the obvious one.
For regional brands we coordinate parallel filings across GCC states and international protection through the Madrid Protocol, plus renewals and assignment recordals as the portfolio evolves.

Frequently asked questions
How do I register a trademark in the UAE?
File with the Ministry of Economy: search, application, examination, a 30-day publication window for oppositions, then grant. The process runs roughly six to eight months, and the UAE is first-to-file, so filing early beats using the mark unregistered.
How much does UAE trademark registration cost?
Government fees run around AED 8,700 per mark per class including publication and grant, plus professional fees. Multi-class and GCC-wide strategies scale from there, and we prioritise the classes that cover how you actually trade.
