UAE trademark registration costs

For one trademark in one class, the standard costs are:

No VAT is charged on NAY's professional fee. The total excludes translations, notarisation, legalisation, expedited examination, additional classes and exceptional proceedings such as objections or oppositions. Government fees are subject to change.

Required documents

• A clear copy of the trademark name or logo.
• Applicant's full name, address, nationality and contact details.
• Description of the goods or services to be protected.
• Copy of the UAE commercial license for company applicants.
• Identification documents where applicable.
• Signed and legally authenticated Power of Attorney when required. NAY will prepare and provide the Power of Attorney draft for the client's signature and authentication.
• Foreign applicants must file through a registered UAE trademark agent.
• Priority documents, certified translations or additional corporate documents where applicable.

The exact requirements depend on whether the applicant is an individual, UAE company or foreign company.

Registration stages and expected timeline

1. 01
   Initial assessment and classification

   We review the mark, applicant details, relevant goods or services and appropriate trademark classes.

2. 02
   Trademark search

   A search for identical or confusingly similar marks helps identify risks before filing, but cannot guarantee acceptance.

3. 03
   Application filing

   The application and supporting documents are submitted to the UAE Ministry of Economy and Tourism.

4. 04
   Official examination

   The Ministry examines the application for legal requirements, distinctiveness and potential conflicts. Any objection may require a response.

5. 05
   Publication and opposition period

   If accepted, the mark is published in the official trademark bulletin. Third parties then have 30 days to file an opposition.

6. 06
   Final registration

   If no opposition is filed, or any opposition is resolved, the registration fee is paid and the electronic certificate is issued.
