We are pleased to inform you that the UAE Trademark Office has done away with the local publication procedures (publication in two local newspapers) for trademarks matters such as registrations, renewals, recordals and amendments. As you may be aware, the UAE trademark law has now been changed with many new reforms and waiving of the publication in the local newspapers is seen as an added incentive to trademark owners. In light of this new announcement, the publication for all trademarks procedures will be now limited only to the official gazette which is published twice a month; the new practice has been applicable from 27/2/2022.
