The Central Organization for Standardization and Quality Control (COSQC) has circulated to Iraqi attorneys and Agents that it has started accepting PCT applications as of today; i.e., 6 November 2023. In this regard, starting today, foreign innovators can use the PCT System to seek patent protection for their inventions in Iraq.
It should be noted that the Government of Iraq deposited its instrument of accession to the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) with WIPO’s Director General on January 31, 2022 making Iraq the 155th member of the PCT Union. The PCT was expected to enter into force on April 30, 2022, but has just been initiated.
