Ondertussen in Irak

Tussen alle berichten over zelfmoordaanslagen en ontvoeringen, nu eens goed (IE-)nieuws uit Irak. Informatieve e-mail van Iraaks merkenbureau:

Iraq- Re- organizing the Trademark Office

Dear Sirs,
 
According to the Council of Ministers, a decision was issued as of  30 May 2005,  in which the TMO came under the custody of the Ministry of Industries,while earlier it was a separate organization.Accordingly, the filing procedure is suspended until the transfer of the files. As far as renewals are concerned, and since the grace period is only onemonth, the Trademark Office receives the applications but no official fees are paid.
 
Further developments will be reported to you soon.
