Sector notes

• Halal and origin claims are regulated separately by ESMA/MoIAT and Dubai Municipality; a trademark does not certify them.
• Product registration (Dubai Municipality Montaji, MoIAT) and labelling compliance are separate from trademark registration.
• Descriptive names ("Arabian Dates", "Pure Water") are refused without a distinctive element.
• Private label: supermarkets registering own brands file in each product class stocked.
• Exporters should record with customs and consider GCC and Madrid filings. International →
