The Trademark Law (Trademarks & Indications Law No. 21 of 1957 with Amendments), Chapter 2 Article 16 is now applied by the Iraqi Trademarks Registrar strictly.

Article 16 implies that where registration of a mark is not completed within six months from the date of the application by reason of default on the part of the applicant the Registrar may inform the applicant, in writing, to complete the registration within the period prescribed in the regulation made under this law. Otherwise he shall be considered as having abandoned the application.
