When you lack an in-house team of research experts in Iran, our services step in to handle all aspects for you. From designing your study to identifying respondents, conducting the fieldwork, and presenting the results, we guide you through every stage of the process.
For a thorough understanding of the Iranian market, we offer two distinct approaches:
trademark registration in Iran is done under specific conditions and laws. These laws are referred to in various provisions of the laws on the registration of inventions, industrial designs, and brands of the Islamic Republic. It is stated in these laws that any symbol or phrase that can distinguish a company’s products and services from other companies can be registered as a trademark.
For trademark registration in Iran, you first need to apply to a brand Trademark Office. After submitting the application, it takes about 3 to 4 months for your request to be reviewed and analyzed. Once your request is approved by the relevant authorities, you will be allowed to officially introduce the trademark in the Official Journal.
From the date of Official Journal registration, those who have objections to the name of the trademark or its entity will have 30 days to declare their objection to the relevant authorities. If there is an objection to the trademark, the applicant will have 20 days to respond to this objection. After reviewing the objections and the applicant’s response, the Trademark Office will announce the final decision of the parties involved.
All foreign trademarks registered through national deposit will have the same authority as all registered trademarks in Iran.
The validity of registering a trademark in Iran is 10 years from the date of filing.
Business owners must renew it 1 year before the trademark expires. If, for any reason, you forget to apply for renewal, you will have a 6-month grace period. trademark registration in Iran after expiration will require an extra 50% fine.
In the field of trademark registration in Iran, the Islamic Republic of Iran is a signatory to the Madrid Agreement, thus adhering to all effects of the “Madrid system”.
The Madrid Protocol is basically an international agreement that sets out trademark registration laws and makes it possible for a trademark to be used internationally.
The Madrid Protocol allows trademark owners and businesses to register their trademarks in different countries worldwide or apply for registration based on the terms of this agreement.
For trademark registration in Iran through the Madrid Protocol, it is necessary to have filed the trademark at the Intellectual Property Office of the your country and request – jointly or even subsequently – the extension of the registration in Iran, through the Office of the World Intellectual Property Organization (or WIPO), which will consequently provide for the registration of the trademark also in the country.
This process has its own pros and cons. The main advantage is that you can start the trademark registration process with any country that is a party to the Madrid Protocol. The main disadvantage is the time-consuming nature of the process. Sending a re-registration request to Iran may be a time-consuming and complex process.
It should also be noted that when a trademark is registered in Iran through international deposit, it will not be displayed immediately after approval in the domestic databases. Trademark owners must apply for the official recognition of their international trademark in Iran after approval. Finally, after the approval of these requests, a trademark registration certificate will be issued in Iran.
In summary, it is crucial to emphasize that for optimal safeguarding of trademark within the country and to fully avail oneself of the punitive mechanisms established by the domestic legislation, it is highly recommended to pursue trademark registration in Iran via the national deposition method, as described in the initial paragraph.
