Legalization of Power of Attorney Required


The Syrian Trademark Office announced that a legalized power of attorney up to the Sysrian consulate Embassy abroad must be submitted for new filings retroactively as of January 1st, 2010. This subsequently involves obtaining the Interior Ministry's approval and super-legalization on this document by the Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Legalization involves extra costs and can take up to 2 till 3 months.
Late filing of the PoA within the subsequent six-month grace period is surcharged with fine payment per month/application.
