UAE Unveils TM Market Place: Middle East's First Digital Platform to Buy & Sell Trademarks
November 27, 2025
Get ready, brand owners and investors! The UAE’s Ministry of Economy & Tourism has rolled out something fresh and exciting – TM Market Place. It is the very first dedicated digital platform in the Middle East where you can list, buy, and trade officially registered trademarks. This platform shines like a new star, turning brand names from invisible assets into valuable, ‘cash-ready’ goodies you can sell or license.
What makes TM Market Place so special? It acts like a buzzing online market plaza where trademark owners registered in the UAE can put their brands up for sale or license. Buyers and investors, local or global, can easily explore and snap up brand power to boost their business stature. Developed with care under the UAE Government Leaders Programme, it promises faster, clearer, and hassle-free trademark deals.
Wondering how it works? The platform is a secure digital bridge connecting sellers with a broad crowd of investors. Every transaction happens with a strong shield—users log in for secure identity checks, and money flows smoothly via trusted digital payments. What you see is what you can trust: only trademarks officially registered in the UAE, both local and international, are listed, protecting buyers from dodgy deals.
And the Ministry of Economy is the vigilant guardian here, supervising every deal to ensure strict compliance with UAE laws, including the rock-solid Federal Decree-Law No. 36 of 2021 on Trademarks. This setup isn’t just for show—it dramatically drops the typical risk and wait time for anyone hoping to enter the UAE market with existing or budding brands.
Here’s another sweet surprise – you don’t need to clutter your phone with apps or pay any subscription fees. TM Market Place is a smooth, web-based portal from the Ministry, open for all to browse, list, and bid without upfront charges. Buyers only pay the agreed brand price and a government fee for legally transferring the trademark ownership.
In a nutshell, the TM Market Place unveils a vibrant, transparent, and easy game-changer for brand trading in the Middle East. It’s about making trademark assets liquid gold, helping businesses shine brighter and connecting global investors to the UAE’s booming market. Ready to jump in and explore the sparkling world of brands? The TM Market Place awaits you!
