BaghdadiLaw’s experience in trademark licensing contract in the UAE
BaghdadiLaw brings nearly seven decades of legal practice, since its founding in 1957, to trademark licensing, with specialised knowledge of permitted use, quality control, royalties and the consequences of licence termination. Permission to use a UAE trademark needs defined products, users, territory and quality controls. The review separates ownership from licensed use and explains how royalties, record updates and remaining branded stock should be handled.
UAE trademark licensing should be aligned with the registered mark, classes, owner and permitted use under Law 36/2021. Permission to use a brand does not transfer ownership; recordal and third-party effects must be checked separately from the commercial royalty agreement. Check the registered owner, licensed goods, territory and permitted use against the actual use. Include quality-control and sublicensing records where those obligations are disputed.
We agree the work your matter needs: Narrow the licensed goods, users and channels where scope is uncertain. If royalty reporting is the problem, improve audit and reporting mechanisms. For termination, resolve remaining stock and de-branding rather than treat notice as the entire exit plan. The deliverable is agreed for your file: A licence-scope and royalty review with proposed use controls and exit terms, identifying any ownership or recordal issue requiring resolution.

Before requesting advice on trademark licensing contract in the UAE
Does a trademark licence transfer ownership of the mark?+
A licence and an assignment are different arrangements. Check the registered owner, permitted products, territory, quality controls and duration. The agreement should also address withdrawal of permission, remaining stock and materials bearing the mark.
Can the licensee change the logo or sublicense it?+
Check the express scope and approval mechanism. A licence for specified use should not be read as unrestricted permission to redesign the mark or appoint additional users.
What happens to branded stock after the licence ends?+
Review sell-off permission, de-branding and return obligations. Match those terms to remaining stock and customer orders before agreeing an exit date.
