Trademark registration
Your name and mark registered in the classes that actually protect your business — searched first, so you find out before you file.
Who this is for
- Businesses trading under a name they have never registered
- Owners about to invest in branding and packaging
- Companies that have found someone else using their name
- Brands expanding into new products or new markets
Not the right fit if: you want to register a name that is already clearly taken — we will tell you that from the search rather than take the filing fee.
What we handle
- A search before filing, so a conflict surfaces early rather than at examination
- The classes your business actually needs, not just the obvious one
- The application prepared and filed
- Publication and opposition periods tracked
- Objections and office actions responded to
- The registration certificate delivered and recorded for you
- Renewal dates tracked so the mark does not lapse
How it works
- 01 We search first Existing marks that would block or weaken yours. Much cheaper to know now.
- 02 We choose the classes What you sell today and what you plan to sell. The wrong class protects nothing.
- 03 We file and publish The application submitted and taken through publication.
- 04 We answer the examiner Objections responded to, rather than left to lapse.
- 05 We register and diarise The certificate to you, and the renewal date into your calendar.
What it costs
Official fees are charged per class by the trademark office, are set and published by it, and are passed on at cost — which is why the number of classes drives the total more than anything else does. We confirm the current official figures for your classes in writing before filing. Our fee covers the search, the classification, the filing and the responses. Defending an opposition, if one is filed, is quoted separately, because it is a different piece of work.
- How many classes you register in
- Whether the mark is a word, a logo, or both filed separately
- Whether the search turns up conflicts that need working around
- Whether an objection or an opposition has to be answered
- Whether you also want to register in other countries

Documents you will need
The exact list depends on your activity and the authority. We send you a written checklist for your own case before anything is filed.
- The mark itself — the exact wording, and the logo file where there is one
- Trade licence of the applicant
- A list of the goods and services the mark will be used for
- A power of attorney authorising us to file, notarised as required
- Evidence of earlier use, where you have been trading under the name
Questions
A trade licence lets you trade under that name. It is not the same thing as owning the mark, and it will not by itself stop another business using something similar. They are different registers, and people discover that at the worst possible time.
Goods and services are divided into classes, and a registration only protects you in the classes you filed. Registering in every class is expensive and usually unnecessary; registering in one when you sell across three leaves gaps. We work it out from what you actually sell and plan to sell.
Whether something already registered would block your application or weaken your mark. It is the cheapest step and the one people skip — and a filing fee paid into a conflict is not refunded because the conflict was there all along.
The office sets the timetable, including the publication and opposition periods, and it moves with their workload. We give you the expected sequence when we file and tell you as each stage passes.
No. Trademark rights are territorial. A UAE registration protects you here, and other countries need their own filings. If you are planning to expand, tell us now — the order you file in can matter.
