Requirement to Re-Filing Certain Trademark Applications


On January 29, 2018, the Iraqi Trademarks Registrar started to issue official notifications for removal of old trademarks bearing the filing numbers of 51,000 to 72,000 with a seven days’ time limit to re-file new trademark applications for the same trademark or else the trademark application will be removed from the Trademark Register and considered as never existed.

Trademarks which will be re-filed as of now or within the seven days from notification will remain on trademark records until the newly re-filed trademarks are examined, as the examination process will be connected to the priority filing number of the old trademark.
