Bin Touq added, “The Cabinet’s decision on the fees for trademark services

provided by the Ministry represents an important step in enhancing the UAE’s

attractiveness to international investors, attracting global companies, and
supporting SME owners and People of Determination. It aims to help them grow,

improve the quality of services offered to customers, and expedite procedures,

thereby facilitating the registration and follow-up of trademarks. This decision is

also part of the UAE’s ongoing efforts to develop and strengthen the intellectual

property sector in line with highest global standards.”

He pointed out that the Ministry of Economy and Tourism registered 19,957

national and international trademarks during the first half of this year, representing

a 129% growth compared to 8,711 trademarks registered in the first half of 2024,

reflecting the notable growth in trademark registrations within UAE markets.

Al Saleh said, “The Ministry has consistently launched numerous national

initiatives for intellectual property and trademarks, in close cooperation

with government and private entities at both the local and international levels.

This reflects its vision of the vital role of this sector in enhancing the growth and

competitiveness of the national economy and accelerating the transition to a

knowledge- and innovation-based economic model.”

He added, “Among the most prominent of these initiatives is the establishment of

the Geographical Indications (GI) system for national products, the first federal

initiative of its kind designed to protect local products with unique features and

characteristics originating from specific geographical regions in the UAE.
The UAE also became a party to the Madrid Protocol in 2021, enabling SME

owners to register their trademarks locally and expand internationally.

Additionally, the Ministry launched the ‘One Day TM Initiative,’ which accelerates

trademark registration processes and facilitates the digital transformation of
services. Other notable initiatives include the launch of the ‘Beyond 71’ forum to

empower local trademarks through innovation, and the adoption of AI

technologies in the Ministry’s intellectual property services, including trademarks.”
