One federal register

Whether your licence comes from the Sharjah economic department or a Sharjah free zone — SAIF Zone, Sharjah Media City (Shams), Hamriyah Free Zone and others — you file your trademark with the federal Ministry of Economy and Tourism. See how to register.

Trade name is not a trademark

The name reserved for your Sharjah licence is not a registered trademark. Register your brand separately to protect it across the UAE (trade name vs trademark).

Costs and timing

Official fees are AED 6,500 per class (full breakdown). A straightforward application usually takes a few months, including the 30-day opposition period (timeline).
