Quick answer
Since November 2025 the Ministry of Economy and Tourism offers a one-day examination of new trademark applications for AED 2,250 per class instead of the regular AED 750. It speeds up the first step only: publication, the 30-day opposition period and registration still follow, so a fast-tracked mark still takes several weeks to register.

What the one-day route covers
The Ministry introduced a new route “so that trademarks can be examined within one day” at the initial submission stage. Instead of waiting for the regular review (the Ministry gives an average of up to 45 working days), the examiner decides on the application almost at once.
What it does not change
- After acceptance the mark is still published in the Trademark Bulletin (twice a month).
- Anyone can still oppose within 30 days of publication.
- The registration fee is paid and the certificate issued after that window.
So the whole process is weeks, not one day — but you save the longest wait. See the full timeline.
When it is worth it
- A launch date, retail listing or marketplace (e.g. Amazon Brand Registry) depends on an accepted application.
- You want an early answer on objections before investing in packaging.
- A competitor may file first — the UAE is first-to-file.
Run a search first: the fast route does not help if the mark is refused.
