Trademarks are at the heart of every business

Brands and trademarks are at the heart of every business, and are amongst a company's most valuable assets. A brand or trade mark is the principal means by which a company can distinguish its goods or services from those of its competitors, develop its own unique 'brand image' and build up brand loyalty amongst consumers. Yet recent research suggests that some 80% of small and medium sized businesses fail to register their trademarks, the majority saying the reason for this was that they felt it wasn't important to their business, with others citing lack of time, lack of understanding of how to do go about it, or cost.

Of more concern, perhaps, is the number of business who feels that trade mark registration is not important to their business. By failing to register their trademarks, these businesses are not only potentially damaging their brands and reputation, but also putting their businesses at risk. Many businesses mistakenly believe that, by registering their name/trade mark as a company name or domain name, this gives them the right to use that name and to prevent third parties from using the same name or a closely similar name. However, this is simply not the case and, until a name is registered as a trade mark, you cannot be certain that it belongs to you. If another person or business registers the mark (or one very similar to it) first, you may well find yourself in the highly inconvenient and very costly position of becoming embroiled in litigation and, potentially, having to withdraw your products, redesign your packaging and marketing literature, and pay damages or an account of profits to the registered trade mark owner. Besides the quantifiable costs, you could also risk any goodwill that you may have established in the brand/name over the years. Trade mark registrations are also valuable, transferable assets, which can be used as negotiating tools in business transactions and as security for financial transactions.

The UAE offers 3 different styles of operating environments for companies to conduct business.

"On-Shore ( Main Land )" companies are normally used to trade within the local UAE market. There are serval types of On-Shore companies which can be incorporated.

"On Shore (Free-Zone)" companies may be 100% owned by expatriates (no need for a UAE national partner). Business can be conducted within the UAE with some restrictions.

"Off-Shore" companies may be 100% owned by expatriates. Often used as asset, property or holding companies for other businesses inside or outside the UAE.

 

1-On-Shore Companies:

The legal framework for corporations within the UAE offers several distinct styles of On-Shore corporate entities to be established. Each may then be duly licensed to conduct trade within the Emirate for which they are incorporated.

There are 3 main styles of On-Shore corporate entities:

A-Commercial Company (LLC)

By law, an LLC must have a majority of its shares owned by a UAE National For an expatriate then, an LLC company is actually a "joint-venture" between the UAE National and the expatriate partner(s). The expatriate may act as the company manager and run its day-to-day affairs.

B-Professional License

Analogous to a Sole-Trader or Partnership company in other countries, a Professional License allows the applicant(s) to create a company partnership provided that the partner(s) can demonstrate their formal professional qualifications as suitable to hold the professional license

C-Industrial Lisence

Industrial licenses issues to companies involved in manufacturing or any type of industrial activity.

2-Free-Zone Companies

The concept of a "Free Zone" or "Special Economic Region" has been developed internationally as a model to help develop and promote business in many countries.

The UAE (and Dubai in particular) originally established Free-Zones to attract trade and export companies, with a high degree of success. Many new Free-Zones have since been added within the UAE.

There are 2 main types of Free-Zone corporate entities, namely;

Free-Zone Establishment (FZE)

and

Free-Zone Company (FZCO or FZ-LLC)

Key benefits of incorporation within a Free-Zone are:

·         100% ownership by Expatriates

·         No currency restrictions

·         All capital and profits may be repatriated

·         No corporate, personal or capital gains tax

·         Excellent infrastructure & communications

·         Wide variety of labour readily available

·         Residency visas available

3-Off Shore Companies

An innovation of the Free-Zone authorities, the concept of an "Off-Shore" company in the UAE is a flexible corporate entity which allows for the a mixture of On-Shore and Off-Shore features.

Key benefits of the Off-Shore Company are:

·         Short set-up time

·         No requirement for an office in Free-Zone

·         100% ownership by Expatriates

·         No currency restrictions

·         All income and profits may be repatriated

·         No corporate, personal or capital gains tax

Dubai Becomes the Businesses Headquarter.

The UAE enjoys a strategic location on the new Southern Silk Road between Asia, Europe and Africa, a situation that provides optimum trading conditions and means the UAE is poised to take advantage of economic activity among the world’s fastest growing and developing economies as part of the ‘South-South’ trade trajectory. Thousands of Chinese businesses use Dubai as a hub for Africa. Indian traders use the emirate to access the world. Latin American ‘multi-latinas’ see Dubai as a launch pad into South Asia. And, of course, Western multi-nationals use Dubai as a hub for the Middle East. Dubai is both a unique trans-continental trade hub and a nexus for innovation in the fields of technology, culture and the wider knowledge economy.

The emirate’s shipping ports are also among the world’s top 10 busiest, with Jebel Ali ranked as the largest container port outside of Asia. If you added all the cargo unloaded in Los Angeles and Long Beach – two of America’s biggest ports – it would be roughly equivalent to that of Dubai.

Most of companies are setting their Headquarter in Dubai. Because in coming years Dubai becomes the Businesses Headquarter. Dubai is considered an ideal venue to hold any seminar, conference or trade exhibition, whatever its size, since large halls and spacious showrooms are available in all major hotels and some public bodies such as Dubai Chamber of Commerce & Industry, Dubai Municipality, Dubai World Trade Centre and Dubai International Airport. These halls are equipped with all facilities such as interpretation, telex, secretarial and audio visual services.
