UAE Trademark Registration From AED 6,500 per Class — Ministry of Economy.

YABS UAE trademark registration starts at AED 6,500 per class all‑inclusive for 2026, covering prior search, Nice class selection, Ministry of Economy filing, gazette publication, opposition response, and final registration certificate. Each class (e.g. Class 35 Services, Class 42 Software) requires its own application.

UAE trademark registration typically takes 8–12 months from filing to certificate issuance. The process includes Ministry of Economy examination (1–3 months), gazette publication (30 days), a 30‑day opposition period, and final certificate issuance. YABS monitors each stage and responds to any objections or oppositions on your behalf.

A UAE trademark protects you only within the UAE by default. To protect the same mark across Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman, you file separately in each country. The GCC Trademark Law was supposed to unify this but implementation remains fragmented. YABS can file simultaneous GCC‑wide trademark applications through our partner network.

No. UAE trademark applicants must be either a registered UAE company or a registered individual with a UAE trade license. If you’re incorporating a new business, YABS can bundle trademark registration with your company setup so the TM filing begins immediately after your trade license is issued.

Third parties have 30 days after gazette publication to file opposition to a UAE trademark. If opposed, the Ministry of Economy holds a hearing where both parties present evidence. YABS prepares and files opposition responses included in the AED 6,500 package — you don’t pay extra legal fees unless the dispute escalates to court.
