The Syrian Proprietary Protection Department has recently implemented new regulations with regard to filing patent applications. Initially, applications will not be accepted unless if the power of attorney submitted is notarized by the country of applicant. (This maybe submitted at the department file and copies made for filing of other patents).
In order to better protect the proprietor's rights, Syrian Patent Letters will not be issued until home country Patent letter (registration certificate) has been issued. The applications maybe filed with a copy of original applications but will remain pending until the issuance of the home letter Patent.
According to this procedure Patents will remain pending until the submission of the required document.
