Quite a lot of Danish businesses sell their products in the United Arab Emirates, typically requiring registration of trademarks before even a single product can be sold. Previously, filing an application to register a trademark in the United Arab Emirates was a costly and cumbersome process. The process will be less costly and easier following the ratification of the Madrid Protocol by the United Arab Emirates, with lower start-up costs for companies entering the market.
About the Madrid Protocol
The Madrid System makes it possible to apply for trademark protection in currently up to 125 territories by filing a single international application through the national or regional IP office of a Madrid Protocol member country. In the Madrid System, you may apply for trademark protection in several countries at the same time, without using a local representative, providing for a much smoother and less costly single-track process.
The Madrid System is also the most efficient way to reduce the regular costs of maintaining your trademark portfolio, such as renewals, assignments, etc.
