Trademark registration in the UAE grants you exclusive rights to your brand identity—but only for a limited duration. To maintain those rights, renewal is essential. In the UAE, trademarks must be renewed every 10 years. Failing to renew on time can result in penalties, legal disputes, or even the loss of your brand rights.
At Emira Legal, we provide end-to-end trademark renewal services—handling everything from documentation to submission and compliance—so you can focus on your business while we protect your brand.

What is Trademark Renewal in the UAE?
Trademark renewal is the legal process of extending the protection of your registered trademark beyond its initial 10-year term. It must be completed within 6 months before or after the expiration date. Late renewals may be permitted with penalties, but failing to renew entirely results in loss of rights and potential cancellation. Trademark renewal is handled by the UAE Ministry of Economy and includes re-publication in the official gazette.
