Sector notes

• Schools and nurseries are licensed by KHDA (Dubai), ADEK (Abu Dhabi) or SPEA (Sharjah) – that licence does not protect the name; the trademark does.
• Fitness brands are frequently franchised; register before licensing studios.
• Event brands (festivals, awards, conferences) should register the event name in Class 41 and, if sponsors are sold, Class 35.
• Media and content: series and show titles used as brands are registrable in Class 41; individual episode titles are not.
