Importance of Trademark Registration

Trademark registration is a significant part of company formation in UAE. It ensures that only the said company reserves the right to exclusively use its intellectual property. It provides you with the guarantee that when you have invested resources on your business, you have exclusive entitlement to own it.

Trademark registration safeguards a company from potential theft of its intellectual property. UAE trademark registration authority makes it certain that your trademark is protected with an ownership rights symbol thus securing duplicity. If any company decides to use your trademark, it will be against the law and action will be taken accordingly.

Trademarks are extensively used by companies in their marketing campaigns. It is a very effective marketing tool because it acts as an easily recognizable symbol or identification mark on a product that silently speaks to its audience.
