Guide: How to Register Trademark For Your Brand in Dubai

What is Trademark?

A trademark, trade mark, or trade-mark is a recognizable sign, design or expression which identifies products or services of a particular source from those of others. The trademark owner can be an individual, business organization, or any legal entity. A trademark may be located on a package, a label, a voucher or on the product itself. For the sake of corporate identity trademarks are also being displayed on company buildings.

When referring to a mark, make sure you pass the “ACID” test of proper use:

Adjective
Consistent
Identification or Status
Distinctive

Trademarks and service marks are proper adjectives. Not nouns. Not verbs. A mark should always be used as an adjective qualifying a generic noun that defines the product or service.
A mark is a company brand name, not a product or service itself. As adjectives, marks should not be used as plurals or in the possessive form, unless the mark itself is plural or possessive (such as 1-800-FLOWERS, MCDONALD’S or LEVI’S).

Examples
Correct:

Use a XEROX brand copier
Please hand me a KLEENEX tissue

Incorrect:
XEROX these copies
A five-KLEENEX movie

Each of these well-known product names was once a famous trademark with rights exclusively owned by a company. Today, due to misuse of the marks, they are merely generic product names in some jurisdictions with no accompanying trademark/service mark rights.

Trademark Registration in Saudi Arabia

As of 25th September 2013 the Saudi Arabian Trademark Office adopted for the first time an online trademark system. This system is aimed at speeding up the trademark registration process and making it a paperless process.

Trademarks are governed by the Trademarks Regulation, Royal Decree No. M/21 of 28th Jumada Awal 1423 Hejra corresponding to 8th August 2002 Gregorian, and its Implementing Rules of the same year. Applications for registration must be made to the Trademarks Office of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry which applies the ‘Nice Classification’ in accordance with the Agreement Concerning the International Classification of Goods and Services for the Purposes of the Registration of Marks of 1957.
