Staffing at the Trade Mark Office in the UAE
News that there are likely to be further delays at the Trade Mark Office in the United Arab Emirates. Both the member of staff dealing with appeals and one of the two members of staff dealing with oppositions have resigned. There is now no one dealing with appeals and only person dealing with oppositions. There are existing, significant, delays in dealing with issuing renewal certificates. There is some, small, comfort from the speed with which post-registration transactions are being dealt with.
This part of the Empty Quarter hopes that the Trade Mark Office will be fully staffed soon.

IP Law in Iran back in force
There is news from a reliable source in Iran that the one year extension to the Intellectual Property Law approved by the parliament has been published in the Official Gazette and that the Courts are once again issuing decisions based on the Law.
Our earlier post here reported that the Intellectual property Law had been suspended as the original five year term for which it had been enacted had come to an end.
