Why is it necessary to register your trademark with a trademark registration agent accredited by the Ministry of Economy?

To ensure that the request is entered in the correct manner As there are many factors that are hidden from you, an experienced agent gives you advice regarding the installation of the sign and the level of protection for each shape or structure. The Ministry of Economy issues a bulletin with the accepted trademarks twice a month, which may exceed 3000 trademarks. The agent monitors any published mark that may be similar or identical to your trademark and inform you of that. Hiring a specialized trademark registration office may cost you more, but it will definitely save you a lot. A specialized and reliable agent must have practiced the profession for a minimum of 10 years, which is the term of protection of the mark as well as to ensure that it will continue to watch your trademark for the next ten years.

When I can use the trademark, do I have to wait for the completion of the registration process?

The use of the mark is something completely different from the registration procedure, as the registration is only to protect the mark from the use of others. The use of the trademark before registration is a legitimate thing if the mark is yours and not related to any other mark, and if its use does not constitute an infringement of the rights of others.

Should the trademark be registered?

No, it is not mandatory. Registration is to guarantee your rights and to prove the ownership of this trademark, otherwise, not registering the trademark may expose it to be misused, or be registered by someone under his name, which would prevent you from using it in the future.

How to register my trademark internationally?

There is no specialized governmental or quasi-governmental office, body or agency in which an international trademark registration application can be filed. However, you can file one application for registration in the European Union, as for the rest of the world, a single application is filed for each country separately, and this is by contacting us or any trademark registration agent.

Is it possible to register a mark under a name of a person, not a name of a company?

Yes, it is possible, according to the law of the United Arab Emirates, the applicant must attach a proof of owning a 100% trade activity, or to be partner in a trade activity, here he must attach a non-objection letter from the remaining partners in the license certified by a notary.

If I have a car trade company and want to register a trademark in the third category, which is perfumes and cosmetics, is that possible?
