Dr. Abdulrahman Al Muaini affirmed that the decision to amend the fees for

trademark services represents a pivotal step in enhancing the flexibility and

efficiency of these services, enabling faster processing and boosting the
competitiveness of the business environment in the country.

It also contributes to improving government performance in delivering world-class

services, in line with the pillars of the ‘We the UAE 2031’ vision, which aims for
the UAE to become the most pioneering and outstanding destination by the next

decade.

The decision contributes to strengthening the UAE’s environment of innovation

and creativity while protecting the rights of both national and international

trademark owners. It also introduces a new pathway for reviewing trademark
registration applications at the initial submission stage, allowing trademarks to be

examined within just one day.

The decision provides members of the National Programme for Small and

Medium Enterprises (SMEs) with a 50 per cent partial exemption on trademark

service fees. It coincides with the launch of the national campaign ‘The Emirates:
The Startup Capital of the World’ and supports the achievement of its objective to

enhance the country's competitiveness as an incubator for SMEs at regional and

global levels.

It also grants People of Determination a full exemption, reflecting the UAE’s

commitment to empowering SME owners and People of Determination in
establishing new trademarks and facilitating their access to a more flexible and

efficient business environment. Under the decision, fees are collected for a single

category if the application includes only one category, and separately for each
