This decision comes pursuant to Order Number 80, stipulating the Amendment of the Iraqi Trademarks and Descriptions Law No. 21 of 1957, and the Council of Minister's decision.
Consequently, the section's activities will be suspended and filing of trademark applications has been ceased as of the aforementioned date.

Meanwhile, clients are kindly requested to continue sending their instructions regarding filing new trademark applications in order for us to file them directly once the Trademark Section is re-opened.
