Iraq Introduces New Requirements For Patent And Industrial Design Annuity Filings
The Registrar of Patents and Industrial Designs in Baghdad has implemented stricter procedural requirements for patent and industrial design annuity filings, introducing new rules for agent appointments, Power of Attorney submissions, and compliance reviews. Rights holders must now navigate additional documentation requirements and fees when changing IP agents, while facing potential cancellation of rights that fail to meet renewal standards during year-end compliance assessments.
