  2. File the renewal online with the documents.
  3. Pay electronically; the renewal certificate is issued.

Tips that save you a trip

  • Renew during the tenth year: it is AED 750 cheaper per class than renewing in the 6-month grace period.
  • If the owner's name or address changed, record the change before renewing.

Common reasons for rejection or delay

  • More than 6 months passed since the protection ended: the mark can no longer be renewed and must be filed again.
  • Applicant is not the recorded owner or the agent's power of attorney is missing.

Questions and answers

My trademark expired last month; is it lost?

Not yet: you can still renew within 6 months after expiry at the higher fee (AED 7,250 per class in total).
