What Are Trademark Watchdog Services?
Trademark Watchdog Services are designed to monitor and detect potential infringements or unauthorized use of a registered trademark. By closely tracking trademarks filed or used by third parties, we ensure that your intellectual property is protected and prevent others from gaining an unfair advantage by capitalizing on your brand reputation.

Why Are Trademark Watchdog Services Crucial in the UAE?
The UAE is a global business hub with a dynamic market, making it critical for companies to actively protect their trademarks. With trademark protection governed by Federal Law No. 36 of 2021 on Trademarks, the UAE offers strong legal frameworks to prevent trademark infringement. However, it is up to the trademark owner to remain vigilant and proactively monitor their rights. Without consistent monitoring, businesses risk losing exclusivity over their trademarks or facing legal disputes.
