Quick answer: NAS & Associates has handled more than 6,400 trademark filings in 127 countries since 2009. We file directly in the UAE and work through a network of 190+ associate agents and firms elsewhere, so you deal with one team, one quotation and one portfolio.
How International Filing Works
- Tell us where you sell or plan to sell. We prioritise the markets that matter most and the ones where copycats are most active.
- We choose the route. National filings, a Madrid international application, or a mix, depending on each country.
- We prepare documents once. Powers of attorney, legalisation and translations are coordinated centrally.
- We manage every office. Our associates file locally; we track each application, deadline and renewal in one system.
Middle East & North Africa (20 countries)
Europe (22 countries)
Asia-Pacific (35 countries)
Americas (30 countries)
Sub-Saharan Africa (20 countries)
Frequently Asked Questions
In which countries can NAS & Associates register my trademark?
We have handled trademark filings in 127 countries, from the GCC and the wider Middle East to Europe, Asia, the Americas and Africa. If your country is not listed, ask us: our associate network reaches further.
Is it better to use the Madrid System or national filings?
It depends on the countries. Madrid covers many markets with one application, but several important markets in our region, including Kuwait, Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon, require national filings. We recommend the mix that gives the strongest protection for your budget.
Do I need to deal with a different firm in each country?
No. You work with one team in Dubai. We instruct and supervise our associate agents in each country and report back to you in one place.
Can you track and renew all my trademarks worldwide?
Yes. Every mark we handle is tracked in our portfolio system with its renewal date, and clients can see their marks, documents and invoices in our client portal.
