Fashion-specific points

• Word mark first. Fashion logos change every season; the name does not. Register the brand name as a word mark, then the current logo.
• Arabic transliteration. Many UAE fashion brands trade under an Arabic name in Arabic script and an English version; register both.
• Designer's personal name. Registrable, but consent and future assignment (if the brand is sold) need thought.
• Instagram-born brands are the most common victims of first-to-file: a reseller or competitor registers the name. File before the launch campaign.
• Counterfeits. Class 25 is the most-counterfeited class; record the mark with Dubai Customs after registration. Enforcement →
