Here’s a step-by-step procedure on how to register a trademark in Dubai, which is part of the United Arab Emirates (UAE):

1. Conduct a Trademark Search:

Before applying, it’s crucial to check if your desired trademark already exists in the UAE. This helps avoid wasting time and effort on a registration that might be rejected.

2. Prepare the Application and Documents:

• Application Form: You can download the application form from the Ministry of Economy (MOE) website https://www.moec.gov.ae/en/trademark-registration.
• Required Documents: 
  • Sample of your trademark (logo or design)
  • List of goods and services you want your trademark to cover
  • Copy of your trading license (if applicable)
  • Power of attorney (if using a registration agent)
  • Passport copy of the applicant
  • Priority document (if applicable)

3. Submit the Application and Pay Fees:

• Fill out the application form and attach all the required documents.
• Submit the application electronically through the MOE website or in person at their service centers.
• Pay the relevant trademark registration fees.

4. Application Review and Publication:

• The MOE will review your application for completeness and distinctiveness.
• If accepted, your trademark will be published in the UAE Trademark Bulletin and two local Arabic newspapers for a 30-day opposition period.

5. Address Oppositions (if any):

• During the opposition period, other parties can challenge your trademark registration.
• If there’s an opposition, you’ll need to address it through the MOE’s procedures.

6. Trademark Registration:

• If there are no oppositions or after successful resolution, your trademark will be registered.
• You’ll receive a trademark registration certificate.

Additional Tips:

• Consider using a trademark registration agent, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the process or have a complex trademark.
• Ensure your trademark complies with UAE trademark regulations. For example, it should be distinctive and not descriptive of your goods or services.
• Trademark registration in the UAE is valid for ten years and can be renewed for additional ten-year terms.
