registration.

and not common to any other skilled person in the same field. The invention must be

used for industrial innovation. In addition, you cannot register patent for one of these

things as per Patent Law article 6(1) –

● An invention which may cause violations of morals or public order

● A mathematical principle, method, or scientific discovery,

● A variety of animal species, plants, or biological method to produce animals or plants

(excepting microbiological products and methods)

● A diagnostic treatment, method, or surgical operation for animals and humans

Procedure

Documents Required

Patent applications should be submitted in both English and Arabic through the MOE.

Here are the documents required with application –

● A certified Articles of Incorporation/Association copy, or Commercial Register

extract, duly signed by the UAE embassy

● A certified priority document copy from a Public Notary if application to be filed on

priority

● Specifications of invention, such as abstract, title, drawings, description, and Arabic

and English claims

● Deed of Assignment or certified original assignment legalized at the embassy of the

UAE

After acceptance of a patent application, the information of the patent application is

required in the Official Gazette of the UAE. During 60 days, anyone can present any

objections for granting the patent, with reasons about why they shouldn’t grant the

patent. Based on the objection as well as argument, the patent will be either rejected or

granted.
