BaghdadiLaw’s experience in trademarks in the UAE

BaghdadiLaw brings nearly seven decades of legal practice, since its founding in 1957, to trademark matters, with specialised knowledge spanning registration, use, licensing, protection and dispute resolution. A business name, website address and trademark can protect different interests. For a UAE brand, start with the exact sign, owner and goods or services, then determine whether the immediate need is registration, maintenance, transfer or responding to another user's mark.

UAE trademark protection under Law 36/2021 concerns the sign and specified goods or services. A trade licence, domain registration and trademark registration perform different functions. Identify the rights actually held before claiming a national registration or cross-border coverage. Obtain the mark representation, owner, classes, territory and current register status. Similar names alone do not settle a conflict without examining the rights and use being compared.

We agree the work your matter needs: Use registration for an unprotected proposed sign, renewal for a subsisting right and recordal for ownership changes. A published conflicting application or an existing adverse registration leads to a different contested procedure; status should drive the selection. The deliverable is agreed for your file: A brand-rights and status map identifying existing protection, important gaps and the next registration, recordal or contested procedure to assess.

Common questions

Before requesting advice on trademarks in the UAE

Does registering a company name protect the trademark?

A company record, domain name and trademark record serve different purposes. Identify the mark, owner, goods or services and target countries. Review the actual trademark position before relying on a business-name registration as protection.

Does a UAE registration protect the mark abroad automatically?

No. Identify each intended territory and its registration or international designation route.

Can similar names coexist in unrelated activities?

The goods, services, distinctiveness and relevant confusion analysis matter; a name comparison alone is incomplete.
