Amendment on Publication Fees of Trademark Renewal Applications in Syria

DAMASCUS – The Syrian Trademark Office (TMO) has announced that it applied a new practice related to fees paid for trademark renewal applications. The new practice requires paying publication fee per each class of the renewal application. Previously, this fee was paid for a multi-class renewal application.
This practice will be applied on trademarks which have been renewed and their renewal certificates have not yet been issued, as the Trademark Office (TMO) has suspended issuing the renewal certificates until the additional retroactive fees are paid to cover each class.

It is worth mentioning that as from 2017, the first publication of renewal application will be ceased in Syria, and the renewal application will not be published for opposition.
