Trademark Registration Support in the UAE
Prepare your brand application with clear ownership, classes and supporting documents.
What this service covers
A trademark registration process examines a mark for specified goods or services in the relevant territory. BWMC supports preparation and coordination of the information needed for a UAE application. Where representation by a registered trademark agent or legal adviser is required, that provider and appointment must be confirmed.
A trade name, company licence or domain registration is not the same as a registered trademark. A preliminary search cannot guarantee acceptance or eliminate third-party objections. Registration decisions and procedures remain with the competent authority.

Frequently asked questions
Does my trade licence protect my brand as a trademark?
Do not treat a trade licence or trade-name approval as equivalent to trademark registration. They serve different purposes and may involve different authorities and requirements.
Can you guarantee a mark is available?
No. A search can identify relevant issues but cannot guarantee registration or the absence of other rights. Examination and any opposition process must still be completed.
Does a UAE registration provide worldwide protection?
Trademark protection is territorial. International protection requires a separate assessment of the countries and filing routes relevant to your business.
What are trademark classes?
Classes organise goods and services for registration purposes. The proposed specification should match the goods or services you need to protect, rather than relying only on a broad business description.
Are objections and legal disputes included?
Confirm the scope separately. Legal advice, opposition proceedings and other contentious matters may require an appropriately qualified or registered representative.
