What Is Trademark Cancellation in the UAE?

Cancel Your Registered Trademark With Legal Assistance

Trademark cancellation in the UAE is the official process of removing a registered trademark from the Ministry of Economy's records, either in whole or for specific goods, products, or services. The procedure applies when the owner no longer wishes to maintain protection for the mark or certain parts of its registration.

The request must be submitted by the trademark owner or an authorised agent, supported by the required documents, and is subject to publication in the official Trademark Bulletin. The Ministry then reviews the application and issues a formal decision.

EGSH, as a government-authorised centre, manages the entire process on behalf of the client, from preparing the application to securing final confirmation of the cancellation.

Who can request trademark cancellation in Dubai?

Trademark cancellation in Dubai can only be requested by the registered owner of the mark or a legal agent authorised through a valid power of attorney. The application must be filed with the Ministry of Economy along with the required documents. EGSH will assess your eligibility, verify the documentation, and ensure the request is filed in accordance with Ministry requirements.

How to cancel a trademark in Dubai through EGSH?

To cancel a trademark in Dubai, the applicant provides EGSH with the registration certificate, trade licence, an official cancellation letter, and a power of attorney if applicable. EGSH prepares and submits the application to the Ministry of Economy, manages the fee payment, and monitors the review process until the final decision is issued.

What are the official fees for the UAE trademark cancellation procedure?

The official fee for the UAE trademark cancellation includes AED 750, which covers publication in the official Trademark Bulletin. An EGSH specialist will provide a precise fee breakdown before submitting your documents.

How long does the Ministry of Economy trademark cancellation process take?

The Ministry of Economy trademark cancellation process takes an average of 40 days. This period includes application review, publication in the official Trademark Bulletin, and issuance of the final decision. EGSH monitors the application status and informs the client once the cancellation process is finished.

Can I remove a registered trademark in Dubai for only some goods or services?

The Ministry of Economy allows a registered trademark to be cancelled either in whole or only for specific goods, products, or services listed under the original registration. In partial cancellations, the remaining goods or services continue to be protected under the existing registration. EGSH will review the scope of your request, verify the documents you provide, and apply in accordance with Ministry requirements.

Is brand deregistration in the UAE permanent?

Yes. Once brand deregistration in the UAE is approved and published, the rights to the trademark are cancelled for the specified goods or services. Future protection would require filing a new trademark application.

How does trademark cancellation differ from trademark expiry?

Trademark expiry occurs automatically if the registration is not renewed before its expiry date. Trademark cancellation is an active procedure initiated by the owner or an authorised agent to deregister the mark before its expiry.

Can I start a trademark removal process if I am not currently in the UAE?

You may cancel a brand registration while outside the UAE by appointing an authorised agent through a legal power of attorney. The application must still be submitted through the Ministry of Economy using UAE PASS. EGSH assists with preparing the required documents and coordinating the process on your behalf.
