UAE Trademark Registration
Protect your brand in the UAE and GCC with trademark registration and IP advisory.
About This Service
The UAE Ministry of Economy manages trademark registration under Federal Law No. 36 of 2021. A registered UAE trademark provides 10 years of protection (renewable) and enables enforcement against infringers in all seven emirates. For GCC-wide protection, the GCC Trademark Office (Gulf Cooperation Council) allows a single application covering all six member states. JCA coordinates with UAE IP counsel to conduct availability searches, file applications, respond to objections, and manage the complete prosecution process.
