Registration of a trademark in the UAE
Hi Mohammed,
This is Weihua from China.
We want to register a trademark, and we already have a company in the UAE. Can we know the price for registering a trademark?
And what documents do we need to provide you?
Thank you very much.

(Per class/per mark)
Filing Fees AED 1,000.00
Professional fees AED 1,000.00

(Per class/per mark)
Final Registration Fees AED 10,000.00
Professional Fees AED 5,000.00

TOTAL FEES FOR REGISTRATION
Accordingly, the total costs for registration of the trademark for one class are AED 20,000 only.
This amount covers the entire registration stage i.e. filing, publication and registration, excluding the expenses and disbursement for any official or third party objections, where further official and professional fees would be applied.
All the above-mentioned prices are excluding the TAX, TAX of 5% should be added based on the UAE law.
Since a multi-class Trademark Application is not allowed according to the UAE Trademark law, a separate application should be filed for each class separately

1. Full name and address of the applicant
2. Meaning/translation of the mark, if it’s a word mark.
3. Description of goods or services.
