Additional Formalities to Trademark Applications Required


The Iranian Intellectual Property Office (IIPO) has recently updated its formalities for trademark applications in Iran.

IIPO will no longer accept general terms for products and services; trademark applicants will be asked to submit a serial number specifying each good or service according to the specifications found on the WIPO Nice Classification system found at http://www.wipo.int/classifications/nivilo/nice/index.htm.

IIPO also announced that a power of attorney, certified and legalized up to the Iranian consulate, a certified copy of the company extract, as well as pantone codes of the trademark colors in order to claim colors of the mark (documents which are required in support of trademark applications in the country) must all submitted within two months from the date of notification issued by the registrar, in addition to the serial number.
