BaghdadiLaw’s experience in trademark ownership transfer & assignment in the UAE
BaghdadiLaw brings nearly seven decades of legal practice, since its founding in 1957, to trademark assignments, with detailed knowledge of the registrations, classes and licensed rights included in the transfer and the steps required to complete it. Transferring a UAE trademark requires clarity about the owner, registered classes and rights included in the deal. The review connects the assignment contract with existing licences and the record update, so payment is not mistaken for a fully completed transfer.
A UAE trademark assignment should identify the registered owner, mark, classes and rights transferred under Law 36/2021. Contractual transfer and registry recordal have different functions; existing licences and encumbrances must be addressed before representing the buyer as an unrestricted owner. Check the assignor’s title, assigned registrations and any licence or security affecting them. Match the transfer agreement to the records requiring an ownership update.
We agree the work your matter needs: Clarify the assets and existing licences before signing. Where ownership is established, coordinate payment with assignment and recordal steps; where the seller's title is inconsistent, resolve that gap before treating a contractual warranty as a completed transfer. The deliverable is agreed for your file: A transfer-scope review and completion checklist explaining the rights conveyed, existing user rights and the documents needed to align the register with the assignment.

Before requesting advice on trademark ownership transfer & assignment in the UAE
What should be checked before transferring a trademark?+
Verify the owner, registration status, covered classes, existing licences and any restrictions. The transaction should identify what is transferred and the recordal steps to confirm, rather than treating payment alone as proof of a completed transfer.
Does buying a business name transfer its trademark?+
Check the assets expressly transferred and the trademark record; do not infer a trademark assignment from a name-only transaction.
Should the seller retain copies of use evidence?+
Allocate delivery and retention of historic use records so the buyer can support the acquired right where relevant.
