Iraq - Patent office is now fully operational

As of the beginning of April 2004, the Iraqi patent office is fully operational and has started to process patent applications. It is now requesting all documents related to applications that are not completed.

The IPO is requesting to complete any missing document in respect of previous applications.

Kindly note that earlier the IPO belonged to the Cabinet of Ministers and now belongs to the newly-created Ministry of Planning and Development.

Its worth mentioning that the IPO examines patent applications with a high level of experience.

Accordingly, we kindly ask our clients and associates to provide us with any missing

documents related to applications filed earlier.

It would be our pleasure to provide you with any additional information if required.
