Trademark Registration Pocket Book, Middle East, 2010
F.A.Qs
1. What is a trademark?
A trademark includes any word, name, symbol, or device,
or any combination, used, or intended to be used, in
commerce to identify and distinguish the goods of one
manufacturer or seller from goods manufactured or sold
by others, and to indicate the source of the goods. In
short, a trademark is a brand name.
2. What is a service mark?
A service mark is any word, name, symbol, device, or any
combination, used, or intended to be used, in commerce,
to identify and distinguish the services of one provider
from services provided by others, and to indicate the
source of the services.
3. What is a certification mark?
A certification mark is any word, name, symbol, device,
or any combination, used, or intended to be used, in
commerce with the owner’s permission by someone other
than its owner, to certify regional or other geographic
origin, material, mode of manufacture, quality, accuracy,
or other characteristics of someone’s goods or services,
or that the work or labour on the goods or services was
performed by members of a union or other organization.
4. What is a collective mark?
A collective mark is a trademark or service mark used,
or intended to be used, in commerce, by the members
of a cooperative, an association, or other collective
group or organization, including a mark which indicates
membership in a union, an association, or other
organization.
Introduction
This pocket book has been designed by the Jitendra
Intellectual Property, a member of JCA International & a
division of Jitendra Consulting Group as an endeavor to
support the efforts of UAE’s Ministry of Economy to uphold
and protect intellectual property rights in UAE. This pocket
book has been developed as a guide for the potential users of
“Trademark Registration” in Middle East countries.This pocket
book clearly states the uses along with the benefits that shall
ensue for investors, exporters, importers, manufacturers,
SMEs and all those seeking to register their trademarks in
Middle East countries.
With UAE’s Ministry of Economy intensifying its efforts to
eliminate the usage of counterfeit goods and products,
this pocket book becomes more significant to support its
campaign. By registering its trademark a business ensures
the protection of its rights in UAE. Registering trademarks
also becomes necessary in order to help customers and
authorities alike to distinguish original goods from counterfeits
sold in the market.
This pocket book is aimed at providing the basic information
regarding trademark registration procedures in Middle East
countries and also providing additional information about the
9th edition of the International Classification of Goods and
Services (Nice Agreement).
This pocket book looks at key areas along with explaining the
basic requirements of registration in Middle East countries. It
is written primarily for those who have little or no knowledge of
trademark registration, but have a reasonable understanding
of the basic trademark concepts and terminology.

- To protect the Internet domain name.
- To impede others attempting to register similar
trademarks.
- To have priority over third parties wanting to register
their trademarks, in countries which do not require
registration.
6. What are classes?
When registering a trademark you need to specify the
products and services that will be associated with your
trademark. The large majority of countries of the world
have adopted the International Classification. This
system groups all products and services into 45 classes -
34 for products, 11 for services - permitting you to specify
precise and clear classes covering your trademark. The
protection that is offered to a registered trademark covers
only the classes specified at the time of registration,
therefore, allowing two identical trademarks to coexist
in distinct classes. The agencies governments are in
charge of the registration of trademarks for a given class,
offering greater protection and greater investment.
7. How do I know in which class (es) to register?
When you request a Comprehensive Study you are
asked to describe how you intend to use a trademark
for your products and services. With this description, we
will recommend to which class (es) to register and what
products/services you should include in each class.
8. What happens if oppositions arise?
The purpose of the Comprehensive Study is to limit the
probability of oppositions or refusals. Nevertheless, if
oppositions arise, we rely on experienced lawyers who
will recommend you the appropriate course of action.
Other forms of intellectual property
People occasionally confuse trade-marks with copyright,
industrial designs, patents and integrated circuit topographies.
These are rights granted for intellectual creativity and are also
forms of intellectual property. However:
• patents cover new inventions (process, machine,
manufacture, composition of matter), or any new
and useful improvement of an existing invention;
• copyrights provide protection for literary, artistic,
dramatic or musical works (including computer
progammes), and three other subject-matter
known as: performance, sound recording and
communication signal;
• industrial designs are the visual features of
shape, configuration, pattern or ornament (or any
combination of these features), applied to a finished
article of manufacture;
• integrated circuit topographies refer to the three-
dimensional configuration of the electronic circuits
embodied in integrated circuit products or layout
designs.
5. Why register a trademark?
A registered trademark gives the exclusive use of that
name, providing its owner the capability:
- To create “Trademark Value” (Goodwill), an active
intangible for the company.
- To offer licenses and franchises.
- To be differentiated from competitors.
- To be protected from third parties using an equal
or similar name, exercising the legal actions that
correspond.

6 7
13. Can the assignment of an application be recorded?
Yes.
14. Is recording a license agreement compulsory? What
are the consequences of non-recordable?
Necessary in order to have effect against third parties.
15. What do the symbols ® and ™ mean?
® and ™ are common symbols associated with
trademarks, although their use is not a requirement and
generally provides no special legal protection. The ®
symbol is used once the trademark has been registered.
The ™ symbol denotes that a given sign is used by the
holder as a trademark whether this sign is the subject of
a trademark application.
16. Can I register a mark that sounds the same as an
existing mark but looks different?
If you are trying to register a mark that sounds the same
as a mark already registered for identical or similar goods
or services for which the earlier mark is registered, it is
likely that your mark will be considered as confusingly
similar and be refused.
17. Is trademark registration necessary even when the
mark has been in use for many years?
In countries which have a legal system based on common
law, ‘prior use’ is generally sufficient for claiming rights
over a given trademark in case of dispute. In civil law
countries, however, this is usually not the case. Only
trademark registration will provide legal certainty on
exclusive rights to the use of the trademark regardless of
how many years an enterprise has been using the name.
Even in the first case, it is highly advisable to register a
9. In what countries should I register my trademark?
The protection of trademarks is regional; therefore, it
is advised to register your trademark in the countries
where your business is located or where you plan to be
located.
10. Who can register a trade-mark?
Companies, individuals, partnerships, trade unions and
lawful associations may obtain registration of their marks
of identification for wares or services, provided they meet
the requirements.
11. How long is certification of a trademark valid?
All recognized trademarks are valid for ten years from
the date of filing. Extensions are granted for subsequent
ten-year periods upon renewal.
12. What are well-known Marks?
Well-known marks “are marks that are considered to be
well-known by the competent authority of the country
where protection for the mark is sought. Well known
marks generally benefit from stronger protection. For
example, well-known marks may be protected even if
they are not registered (or have not even been used) in
a given territory. In addition, while marks are generally
protected against confusingly similar marks only if used
for identical or similar products, well-known marks are
protected against confusingly similar marks for even
dissimilar products, if certain conditions are met. The
main purpose of this stronger protection is to prevent
companies from free-riding on the reputation of a well-
known mark and/or causing damage to its reputation or
goodwill.

ARIPO
AFRICAN REGIONAL INDUSTRIAL
PROPERTY ORGANIZATION
African Regional Industrial Property Organization is a
creation of the joint efforts of the United Nations Economic
Commission for Africa and the world Intellectual Property. The
said efforts were incarnated in the Lusaka Agreement which
was adopted by a diplomatic conference held at Lusaka,
Zambia on December, 1976. ARIPO only covers fifteen
countries of English ‫ﺫ‬speaking Africa (Anglophone Africa) or
strictly speaking former British colonies.
ARIPO office administers Intellectual Property matters as
provided for in the Harare Protocol and the Banjul Protocol.
Banjul Protocol deals with trademarks. States currently
party to the Banjul Protocol are Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi,
Namibia, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda and Zimbabwe. Total
eight states are the members.
The ARIPO regional system provides choice as to the route
of filing applications namely, the member state route and the
ARIPO office route. An applicant may file a single application
either at one of the contracting state office or directly to
ARIPO office. An applicant whichever route he chooses has
the right to designate in his application any or all members of
ARIPO where he wishes his intellectual property right to be
protected. Language used is English.
Classification
The 42 classes of the International classification of goods
and services are followed for Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia,
Tanzania and Zimbabwe. The 34 classes of the International
classification of goods are followed for Malawi and Uganda.

MADRID SYSTEM FOR INTERNATIONAL
REGISTRATION OF TRADEMARKS
Madrid System functions under the Madrid Agreement
(1891) and the Madrid Protocol (1989). It is administered by
the International Bureau of the World Intellectual Property
Organization (WIPO) located in Geneva, Switzerland. The
Madrid system offers a trademark owner the possibility to
have his trademark protected in several countries by simply
filing one application directly with his own national or regional
trademark office. An international mark so registered is
equivalent to an application or a registration of the same
mark effected directly in each of the countries designated
by the applicant. The Madrid system also simplifies greatly
the subsequent management of the mark, since it is possible
to record subsequent changes or to renew the registration
through a single procedural step. The total number of member
countries to the Madrid System is 84 of which majorities
are members to the Madrid Protocol (http://www.wipo.int/
export/sites/www/treaties/en/documents/pdf/madrid_marks.
pdf) Among the GCC Countries Bahrain and Oman are the
member countries in Madrid Protocol.
The objectives of the Madrid system are two- fold. Firstly, it
helps in obtaining protection for trademark internationally.
Secondly, since an international registration is equivalent to a
bundle of national registrations, the subsequent management
of that protection is made much easier.
The Madrid System of international registration cannot be
used by a person or legal entity which does not have the
necessary connection, through establishment, domicile or
nationality, with a member of the Madrid System. Nor can it
be used to protect a mark outside the Madrid Union.
