In Intellectual Property Rights

Effective February 2025, the Syrian Trademark Office (TMO) has officially lifted the long-standing ban on trademark applications from Turkish nationals.

What’s New:

  • Turkish applicants may now refile previously rejected applications.
  • New applications will proceed under standard procedures, in line with all other foreign filings.
  • This development marks a return to administrative neutrality in Syria’s IP system, offering Turkish brands renewed access to trademark protection.
