Trademark registration in Ajman

One federal register for Ajman

There is no Ajman trademark office. Whether your trade licence comes from the Ajman economic department or from a free zone, the trademark is filed online with the federal Ministry of Economy and Tourism. The registration then covers Ajman, Dubai, Sharjah and every other emirate. See how to register.

Ajman free zone companies

Companies in Ajman Free Zone and Ajman Media City Free Zone file on the same register, in the company’s own name, with a copy of their free zone licence. Many Ajman free zone companies trade online or across the GCC — check whether you also need Class 35 (retail) or Class 39 (delivery).

Trade name is not a trademark

The name on your Ajman licence is reserved with the licensing authority only. It does not stop someone else registering your brand as a trademark — register the brand separately (trade name vs trademark).

Cost and timing

Official fees are AED 6,500 per class, paid in three stages, plus the agent’s fee if you use one (full breakdown). A clean application usually takes a few months including the 30-day opposition period (timeline).
