Sunil Ambalavelil, partner and legal consultant of NYK Law Firm, said trademark

registration is a key aspect of protecting intellectual property rights and ensuring that

businesses can differentiate their products and services in the market. “By registering a
trademark, businesses can prevent others from using their brand name, logo, or slogan,

and can establish a unique identity in the marketplace. This not only helps businesses
build brand recognition and loyalty among customers but also adds value to their products

and services,” Ambalavelil said.

“The increase in trademark registrations in the UAE indicates a growing awareness
among businesses about the importance of protecting their intellectual property rights. It

also reflects a confidence in the legal framework and enforcement mechanisms in the
country, which are crucial for safeguarding trademarks and other intellectual property

assets,” Ambalavelil added.
