Iraq - Trade Mark searches

News from good friends Saba & Co that searches at the Trade Mark Office in Iraq are taking up to 6 months to complete.

Saba & Co offer an alternative which is for them to search all the applications they have handled as well as all publications in the Official Gazette from 2004 until now. 

The Thomson Compumark Serion system claims to be able to search all marks published from 1976 to (at the time of typing this post) 30 May 2013.

This part of the Empty Quarter believes that information held by a trade mark office should be readily accessible and that inaccurate, incomplete or delayed search results are not beneficial to consumers or rights holders.
