No Longer Extension of Trademark Registrations to Kurdistan
The Trademarks Registrar of Kurdistan issued new directives suspending the legal extension of registered Iraqi trademarks to the Kurdistan region until further notice.
In lieu of this change in practice, trademark registration should be sought directly with the Kurdistan Trademark Office by filing a new trademark application.

May 08, 2018 (Newsletter Issue 9/18)Transliteration Requirement for Latin Script Marks RescindedThe Iraqi Trademarks Office announced that trademark applications may now be filed in Latin script without having to submit the Arabic transliteration of the mark.
This update rescinds the previous registration requirement whereby the addition of Arabic transliteration; i.e. the way the Latin word(s) is spelled out to a Latin mark was a requirement, which provides for the protection of the transliteration of a registered mark without having to file a separate application for same.
However, it is advisable to register the transliteration of the mark in Arabic as a separate registration to avoid any problems that might arise when it comes to enforcing trademark rights against third parties using or attempting to register confusingly similar Arabic transliterations.

Iraq is divided into two trademark jurisdictions; Baghdad and Erbil where filings should be undertaken separately in order to secure trademark protection for the whole country; duly noting that the registries operate independently of each other and filing a trademark application in one jurisdiction does not automatically grant protection in the other. Erbil is the de-facto capital of the self-autonomous region of Northern Iraq- Kurdistan. This region represents immense interest to trademark owners around the world both in terms of covering the whole of Iraq and also for the tremendous potential it offers to brands.

Formalities for Class 5 Applications Revised

Prior to this decision, it was possible to extend registered Iraqi trademarks to Kurdistan: If a trademark was already registered or accepted for registration in Iraq and the owner of the mark wished to extend its protection to Kurdistan, an official letter needed to be issued by the Iraqi Trademarks Registrar in Baghdad to the Registrar of Trademarks in Kurdistan furnishing him with the complete details of the concerned trademark and a report on its latest status in order to protect the mark and accredit its registration under Kurdistan jurisdiction.
Such practice is abolished now: When protection in Kurdistan is needed the application for registration should be filed directly with the Kurdistan trademarks office.

Since then, the Iraqi Trademark Office has organized the revision of these files into separate batches in order account for all the records.

In the event of missing documents, owners will be requested to submit all required documents. Incomplete trademark registrations will be considered abandoned and will not be processed.

New Regulations to Expedite TM Examination
In an attempt to expedite the slow processing of old pending trademarks applications which had been filed long time and not examined yet, the Trademark Office in Baghdad decided that examination procedures will be carried out in chronological order, not randomly, giving priority to old applications filed during or after the Iraqi War.
Meanwhile, the examination procedures have already started for the first group of applications bearing filing numbers (44000 to 45000), which are deemed to be completed. The second group of applications will begin shortly and so on for all remaining applications.
As a result, old applications filed early 2004 until 2007 are expected to be examined.
It is decided that recording change of owner's name or address will not be effected unless a notarized declaration or statement attesting this change is submitted and further legalized by the Iraqi Consulates/Embassies abroad. Accordingly, the already filed extracts from commercial registers proving these changes will not be accepted anymore and new notarized and legalized certificates are to be prepared.
