Boycott Declaration No Longer Required


The Syrian Trademark Office has started as of September 2009 to waive boycott declaration request including applications filed under the new Intellectual Property Law No.8/2007 effective on April 12, 2007.

Accordingly, all foreign first-time applicants, who are not listed on the Boycott List, can file their applications in Syria without the need to provide the Boycott Declaration.

Prior to this decision, applications accepted by the Registrar were referred to the Boycott Office to clear the applicant’s company name. First-time applicants with no prior IP registrations or clearance were required to submit the Israel Boycott Declaration. Once such clearance was obtained, the application processed to registration.
