Analysis
The latest edition of the UAE Trademarks Gazette was published on 1 May 2014 and we have made a copy of this Gazette available online.
In order to oppose an application published in this Gazette immediate action may be required in order to meet the non-extendable opposition deadline of 30 May 2014.
This is because, where there is no Power of Attorney already in place, it will be necessary to prepare, execute and submit a fully legalised Power of Attorney together with the opposition on or before the 30 May deadline.
It can take at least three weeks for a Power of Attorney to be legalised by the UAE Embassy in the country where is it executed. Also, upon receipt of the original legalised Power of Attorney by us in the UAE, it requires re-authentication before it will be accepted by the Trademarks Office.
