To register a trademark in the United Arab Emirates, you must provide an:

• Original power of attorney document,
• Signed, notarized and legalized before the consulate of the United Arab Emirates.

This document authorizes the local representative to act on your behalf before the UAE trademark department.

The average application process in the United Arab Emirates takes 12 months.

This is an estimated time for straightforward cases, based on current processing timeframes. The actual duration may vary considerably depending on the complexity of the application, any objections raised and whether oppositions are filed.

Once a trademark is registered in the UAE:

• It has a validity of ten (10) years from the application date.
• It can be renewed indefinitely for further periods of ten (10) years.
• The renewal can be requested as early as twelve (12) months before the expiration date.
• If the renewal is not filed before expiry, it can still be requested during a grace period of three (3) months after expiration, upon payment of a late renewal fee.

Maintaining the registration in force requires observing these deadlines and paying the corresponding renewal and late renewal fees when applicable.

Yes. If a third party intends to register or use a trademark for similar goods or services that includes a primary or distinct part of your trademark, you have the right to oppose the application based on confusing similarity.

Opposition actions may be filed by third parties within thirty (30) days after the date of publication in the official gazette. The probability of success in an opposition will depend on the specific facts and evidence in each case.

It is not necessary for a trademark to be in use in the UAE in order to register it. However, after registration, the mark must not go unused for periods of five (5) years, otherwise it becomes vulnerable to cancellation actions based on lack of use.

Importantly, granting a license of use to another party may be considered as use of the trademark for these purposes. So, actual use by you or an authorized licensee can help preserve the registration.
