Trademark Registration
A trademark can be a logo, name, or short symbol that helps distinguish a product or service from others within a specific geographic area. Trademark laws are designed to protect the rights of both businesses and consumers in the country. In the UAE, federal legislation provides legal protection for registered trademarks. The UAE Trademark Laws primarily cover the following areas:
Definition and clear explanation of trademarks
Types of signs eligible and ineligible for trademark registration
Procedures for trademark registration and cancellation
Guidelines for transferring trademark ownership
Licensing rules for allowing others to use trademarks
Penalties for trademark violations along with general and temporary provisions
