Can I register a trademark before my company is set up?
Yes. Individuals and foreign companies can apply. Many founders file before launch so the brand is protected when marketing begins.
How long does registration take?
Examination and publication typically take four to eight months. Protection is backdated to the filing date once registered.
What can be registered?
Word marks, logos, slogans, colours, shapes and sounds, provided they are distinctive and not contrary to public order or morality.
Is a UAE registration valid in Saudi Arabia?
No. Trademarks are territorial. We file separately in each GCC country or through the Madrid Protocol where available.
