Thinking about a trademark in the UAE? This is a short guide to what is involved, and how we can help you get it moving.

Registering a trademark in the UAE is handled by the relevant authority, and the current procedure, classes and fees are set by them. Rather than quote figures that may be out of date, we confirm the current procedure, classes and fees for your case in one call.

We have started 1,400+ companies since 2007, working with 4 licensed freezone partners. If you are setting up or already running a company here and want your brand handled properly, we can route your trademark or brand query to a consultant who will talk you through the current requirements for your situation.

If you are still at the formation stage, our company formation service is a good place to start, and we can bring the trademark question into that same conversation. We can also help with bank account opening once your company is in place.

The quickest way forward is to speak to a consultant. They will confirm the current procedure, classes and fees, and tell you exactly what applies to your case, so you are not working from guesswork. Get in touch and we will route your enquiry to the right person.
