How long is a UAE trademark valid for?

A UAE Trademark Registration Certificate is valid for 10 years from the date of registration and can be renewed for further 10-year terms upon payment of a renewal fee.

What happens if someone objects to my trademark?

After approval, your trademark is published in the Trademark Journal for a 30-day public objection window. If an objection is raised, the Ministry notifies you, and you may need to reconsider your brand assets and reapply.

Why should I use a consultant instead of applying myself?

Most rejections happen due to incomplete forms, unclear documents or an existing conflicting trademark. Aurion runs the search, prepares every document and manages submission to minimize the risk of delay or rejection.

What Is a Trademark

One Registration. Every Emirate. Ten Years of Protection.

A trademark can be a name, logo, signature, symbol, tag line or seal — anything that identifies your goods or services as uniquely yours.

Trademark registration in the UAE protects your brand name, symbol or logo from unauthorized use. It's governed by the Ministry of Economy under Federal Law No. 37 of 1992 and its amendments, and gives both UAE nationals and non-nationals the right to register commercial, industrial, service or handicraft trademarks.

Once issued, a UAE trademark certificate is valid across all seven emirates — Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah — for 10 years, renewable for further 10-year terms.

How It Works

The Trademark Registration Process

A structured, six-step process governed by the Ministry of Economy — Aurion manages each stage so your application isn't delayed or rejected.

Trademark Search
Aurion checks that your intended name, logo or symbol isn't already registered or in use, identifying close matches before you commit to a brand asset.
Documentation
We prepare your application form, trademark design, trading license and identity documents for submission to the Ministry of Economy.
Fee Payment
Registration fees are remitted in stages — initial approval, publication and certification — and Aurion tracks each payment against your application.
Ministry Review & Approval
The Ministry of Economy reviews your application for conflicts or irregularities. A well-prepared submission avoids rejection at this stage.
Publication in the Trademark Journal
Once approved, your trademark is published for a 30-day public objection window. If an objection is raised, Aurion advises on the next step.
Certificate Issuance
With no objections raised, you receive your Trademark Registration Certificate — valid for 10 years and renewable after that.
