Trademark Registration is one of the most effective and indispensable systems designed for business owners to protect the identity of business products. According to UAE Federal Law No. 37 of 1992 on Trademarks, a trademark can be any distinctive form of symbols, words, logos, signs, names, labels, designs, pictures, titles, hallmarks, seals, patterns, announcements, packs or any other marks or group of marks.
UAE Trademark Registration With the Ministry of Economy
The first and foremost process to protect the brand in the UAE is to register a trademark with the UAE Ministry of Economy by filing the application with the trademark office. Apart from that few are aware of the recording of a trademark with Dubai customs and Intellectual Property Protection services launched by Dubai Economy. Many businesses think registering a trademark with the UAE Ministry of Economy and getting a trademark certificate will protect their brands from being copied and sold in the grey market. No, that is not sufficient. Once the trademark certificate is issued in UAE, brand owners should register their brands with the UAE Customs and Dubai Economy for further protection.
