Trademarks

The registration and protection of trademarks in the United Arab Emirates is regulated by Federal Law No. 37 of 1992 and executive regulations promulgated hereunder. The UAE courts have, in fact, recognized the rights to trademarks and the need to protect the same well before the promulgation of Trademark.

Trademark is a recognizable sign, design or expression which identifies products or services of particular suppliers from those of the others. The trademark owner can be an individual, a business, or a legal entity. A trademark may be positioned on a package, label, and voucher or on the product itself. For corporate identity reasons, trademarks are also displayed on company buildings.
