Understanding Trademarks and Their Importance
A trademark is a distinctive sign, logo, name, or symbol that identifies and differentiates the products or services of one business from those of others. In Dubai, registering your trademark grants you exclusive rights to use it, providing legal protection against unauthorized use or infringement.
The Benefits of Trademark Registration are:
- Legal Protection: Prevents others from using or imitating your brand.
- Brand Recognition: Enhances your brand’s visibility and credibility in the market.
- Asset Value: Adds value to your business as a tangible asset.
- Market Expansion: Facilitates business growth and franchising opportunities.
