FAQ
Questions about portfolio management
When can a UAE trademark be renewed?
A UAE registration lasts ten years from the filing date and can be renewed for further ten-year periods. It can still be renewed within six months after expiry, with an additional fee.
Why record an assignment or a change of name?
Until the change is recorded, the register shows the old owner or name, which can cause problems at renewal, in enforcement and in customs actions.
Can you take over marks filed by another agent?
Yes. We file a new power of attorney and take over the follow-up of the existing marks.
Do you manage marks outside the UAE?
Yes, in the GCC and elsewhere through trusted associates, with one point of contact for you.
