Official trademark inquiry
The Ministry of Economy and Tourism offers a Trademark Inquiry service that searches the trademark register for marks that have been filed or registered. It costs AED 350, needs no documents, and results come back immediately online.
What to search for
Why a professional search helps
Marks are refused when they are confusingly similar, not only identical. A firm reviews close hits, judges the risk, and can suggest changes to the name or the goods and services before you pay filing fees. Post a request and firms that cover the UAE can quote for a clearance search.
Company name vs trademark
Reserving a trade name with your licensing authority does not register a trademark, and a trademark search is separate from a trade-name check. Many disputes start when a licensed trade name clashes with someone else’s registered trademark.
