Trademark Registration in the UAE Start Strong, Stay Protected

The United Arab Emirates is a thriving business hub in the Middle East, making trademark protection essential for companies operating in the region. Trademarks in the UAE are registered through the Ministry of Economy (MoE) and offer legal protection for brand names, logos, and symbols used in connection with goods or services. The UAE follows a first-to-file system, meaning the first person to register a trademark owns the rights — even if someone else used it first. We provide complete trademark registration services in the UAE, including search, filing, legal representation, and post-registration support. Below are frequently asked questions to guide you.

At the time of filing the trademark form, you must provide the information whether you are already using the trademark in commerce or you are intending to use it in the future. If you have applied trademark in any other country and planning to claim priority, you must provide the trademark number of that application filed in any other jurisdiction.

          The Trademark application process in Canada is quite lengthy. It takes around 18-28 months or sometimes, even more, to get your trademark approved and registered in Canada. Initially, the Trademark application in Canada goes through the examination process, once approved by the examiner, it will get published in the gazette for third-party opposition. If no one opposes within 60 days, the Notice of Allowance will be issued by the Canadian Trademark Office.

          Once the Notice of Allowance is issued after two months from the date of publication, a fee of CA$ 200 (included in Professional Package only) is required to submit in order to get the registration status and issuance of trademark registration certificate in Canada.

              Trademark Registration in China Start Smart, Stay Protected

              With one of the world’s largest consumer markets, China is a critical region for protecting your brand. Trademark registration in China is handled by the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA), and it operates on a strict “first-to-file” system. This means the first party to register a trademark — not necessarily the first to use it — gains the legal rights. Whether you’re a local entrepreneur or a foreign business entering the Chinese market, we offer comprehensive trademark services including searches, filings, legal representation, and enforcement. Below are the most frequently asked questions about trademark registration in China.

              ✅ Frequently Asked Questions

              Why should I register a trademark in China?
              +
              Registering your trademark in China ensures you have exclusive legal rights to use your brand in the country. Without registration, others can legally register your mark and block your use of it — even if you created it first.
              Who can register a trademark in China?
              +
              Both Chinese nationals and foreign individuals or companies can register trademarks in China. Foreign applicants must appoint a Chinese trademark agent, which we provide as part of our service.
              What types of trademarks can be registered in China?
              +
              You can register trademarks such as: words or names, logos and symbols, letters and numerals, colors, sounds, or combinations, and even 3D shapes or packaging designs (in certain cases).
              What is the first-to-file rule in China?
              +
              China follows a first-to-file system, meaning the first person or company to apply for a trademark owns the rights — regardless of prior use. Early registration is essential to avoid brand theft or hijacking.
              How long does it take to register a trademark in China?
              +
              The process typically takes 7 to 12 months, depending on whether any objections or oppositions are filed during examination.
              How long is a trademark valid in China?
              +
              A registered trademark in China is valid for 10 years from the date of approval and can be renewed every 10 years.
              Do I need to use the trademark before applying in China?
              +
              No. You do not need to use the trademark before applying. However, continuous non-use for 3 years after registration can lead to cancellation if challenged.
              What are the official and service fees for trademark registration in China?
              +
              CNIPA charges an official fee per class (with limited goods/services), and we charge a separate professional fee for search, filing, and legal representation. Contact us for a detailed cost estimate.
              What is a trademark class, and how many classes do I need?
              +
              China follows the Nice Classification system with 45 classes. You’ll need to register your trademark under all relevant classes that cover your products or services. We help you select the correct classes.
              What happens if my application is opposed or rejected?
              +
              If CNIPA issues an objection or a third party files an opposition, we assist with all necessary legal responses and appeals to defend your application.
              Do you offer trademark monitoring in China?
              +
              Yes. We offer trademark watch services to monitor new filings that may conflict with your brand, allowing you to file timely oppositions or take enforcement actions.
              Can I register a trademark in both English and Chinese?
              +
              Yes. It is highly recommended to register your trademark in both its original (e.g., English) form and a Chinese translation or transliteration, to ensure full brand protection in the local market.
