Trademark Registration

 





Trademark Registration

What is a Trademark?

A trademark is any distinctive sign, design, word, or symbol that differentiates your goods or services from competitors. Registering it grants exclusive legal rights to its use, preventing others from imitating or exploiting your brand identity.

Common forms include:

  • Company names and logos

  • Product names or taglines

  • Unique packaging designs or symbols


Why Trademark Registration Matters

    1. Legal Protection – Shields your brand from unauthorized use or infringement.

    2. Market Credibility – Builds consumer trust through brand authenticity.

    3. Asset Value – Trademarks can be licensed, franchised, or sold, creating tangible value.

    4. Exclusive Ownership – Ensures no other entity can register a similar mark in the same category.

    5. Global Expansion Readiness – Supports international filings through systems like the Madrid Protocol.





Trademark Registration Process in the UAE

    1. Trademark Search – Verify if the mark is unique and not previously registered.

    2. Application Submission – File through the Ministry of Economy with required documents.

    3. Examination & Publication – The Ministry reviews and publishes the application in the Official Gazette.

    4. Objection Period – Third parties may raise objections within 30 days of publication.

    5. Final Registration & Certification – If no objections arise, the trademark is formally registered for 10 years (renewable).

Documents Required

    • Trademark logo or design sample

    • Applicant’s trade license and passport copy

    • Power of attorney (if applicable)

    • Details of goods/services under the trademark class

Benefits of Professional Trademark Services

    • Expert advice on classification and jurisdiction selection

    • Search and due diligence to avoid rejections

    • Preparation and submission of legal documentation

    • Handling renewals, oppositions, and enforcement actions

Conclusion

  • Registering a trademark is not just a legal formality — it’s a strategic move to protect business value and reputation. Whether you’re a startup or a multinational, securing your brand identity ensures long-term recognition, trust, and growth.

  China’s ‘Monkey King’ Supersonic Drone China has made significant strides in aerospace technology with the development of a supersonic drone known as the "Monkey King." This advanced unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) was created by Lingkong Tianxing Technology, a Chinese aerospace startup. The drone measures seven meters in length and weighs approximately 1.5 tonnes, making it a highly capable piece of machinery. One of the most remarkable features of the "Monkey King" is its ability to reach speeds of Mach 4.2, which is over four times the speed of sound. This makes it one of the fastest drones in existence, capable of achieving these speeds while operating at altitudes of up to 20 kilometers (12.4 miles), well above the commercial airspace. The drone is powered by two detonation engines, which rely on a self-sustaining detonation wave for propulsion. This technology, which is still relatively new, allows the "Monkey King" to travel at supersonic speeds w...
