Sector notes

• Perfume names are often descriptive or generic Arabic words; add a distinctive house name so the mark is registrable.
• Clinics are licensed by DHA (Dubai), DoH (Abu Dhabi) or MOHAP; the health licence does not protect the brand.
• Product registration with the Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology or Dubai Municipality (Montaji) for cosmetics is separate from trademark registration and does not replace it.
• Counterfeit perfume is a major enforcement issue; record the mark with customs after registration. Enforcement →
