Trademark registration for RAKEZ companies

RAKEZ licence vs UAE trademark

RAKEZ licenses your company. Trademarks are registered online with the federal Ministry of Economy and Tourism, in the company’s name with its licence. See how to register.

E-commerce and manufacturing brands

Online shops need the classes for the goods they sell plus Class 35 for retail; manufacturers register the goods they make. Selling on marketplaces? A registered trademark also helps with brand programmes — see Amazon Brand Registry.

Trade name is not a trademark

The name on your RAKEZ licence does not protect the brand (trade name vs trademark).

Cost and timing

AED 6,500 per class in official fees, plus the agent’s fee (cost); a few months for a clean application (timeline).
