FAQS

Intellectual Property FAQs

Find answers to some of the most common questions about our legal services, consultation process, and how Althea & Jacobs can support your legal needs with confidence and clarity.

How long does trademark registration take in the UAE?

Trademark registration in the UAE typically takes 6 to 12 months, depending on whether objections or oppositions arise. We manage the entire process and keep you informed at every stage.

Can foreign companies register trademarks in the UAE?

Yes. Foreign companies can register trademarks in the UAE. We handle the process including appointing a local agent if required and managing all filings with the Ministry of Economy.

What can be trademarked in the UAE?

Brand names, logos, taglines, shapes, colours, sounds, and in some cases three-dimensional marks can be trademarked, provided they are distinctive and not descriptive of the goods or services.

Can someone copy my logo if I have not registered it?

Unregistered marks may receive limited protection under passing-off rules, but registration provides far stronger legal rights. We recommend registering your trademark as early as possible.

How much does IP protection cost?

Costs vary depending on the scope of protection, number of classes, and complexity. We offer transparent fee structures and will provide a clear quote after your initial consultation.

Do you handle infringement disputes and litigation?

Yes. We represent clients in trademark oppositions, infringement proceedings, customs recordals, and anti-counterfeiting actions across UAE courts and government authorities.
