Trademark Modification in UAE – Legally Update Your Registered Brand

Under the UAE regulations, trademark modifications may include updates to the logo (without altering its identity), changes to goods or services within the same classification, and corrections to owner details such as name, nationality, or correspondence address. All changes require approval by the Ministry of Economy and publication in the official Trademark Bulletin. EGSH ensures full compliance and accurate submission of the application.

The Ministry of Economy allows a trademark logo to be modified, provided the change does not fundamentally alter the identity of the mark. Such a modification is processed as an amendment to the existing registration and does not require filing an entirely new trademark registration. EGSH assists in preparing and submitting the amendment request in full compliance with Ministry procedures.

The official government fee for the trademark modification is AED 1,100. This includes AED 350 for the Ministry of Economy service charge and AED 750 for publication in the official Trademark Bulletin. An EGSH specialist will provide a precise fee breakdown before submitting your documents.

Trademark amendment applications are published in the official Trademark Bulletin and subject to a 30-day objection period. Final approval is granted after this period if no objections are raised. EGSH monitors the application status and informs the client once the updated registration is issued.

You may add goods or services only if they fall within the same classification under which the trademark was initially registered. Adding items from a different class requires a new trademark application. EGSH will review the proposed amendments to ensure they comply with the Ministry of Economy classification rules.

Yes. All trademark modification applications must be submitted through the Ministry of Economy platform using UAE PASS. This ensures secure digital identification and access to government services. EGSH assists clients in preparing the application and guiding them through the UAE PASS login process.

To update trademark owner details, you must submit a valid trade licence, the existing registration certificate, and an official document confirming the change—such as a name correction certificate, or Emirates ID showing the updated personal information. A power of attorney is also required if the application is submitted through an authorised agent. EGSH verifies all documents before submission to ensure compliance with Ministry requirements.

You may modify a registered trademark 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 can assist with preparing the required documents and coordinating the process on your behalf.
