Sector notes

• Project and community names (towers, villa communities, branded residences) are registered in Class 36 by developers; brokers should not use them without licence.
• Regulated activities (DFSA, ADGM FSRA, SCA, CBUAE, VARA licences) are separate from and do not confer trademark rights.
• Brokerages in Dubai are licensed and RERA-registered; competitors frequently copy successful brokerage names in other emirates – a UAE-wide trademark stops this.
• Fintech and crypto brands should file Classes 9, 36 and 42 together.
