Trademark registration in Iran is a crucial step for businesses seeking to protect their brand identity and intellectual property within the country. The process is overseen by the Iranian Intellectual Property Center, and it involves several essential steps. First, we conduct a thorough trademark search to ensure the proposed mark is not already registered or being used by another entity.
Once the search is complete, the application is submitted, which includes detailed information about the mark and its intended use. The Iranian trademark authorities will then examine the application for compliance with legal requirements and issue an examination report. If there are no objections, the mark will be published in the Official Gazette for public notice.
Following a designated waiting period, assuming there are no oppositions, the trademark will be officially registered. Trademark registration in Iran grants exclusive rights to the mark's owner for a period of ten years, renewable indefinitely. It's a crucial legal process for protecting brands and intellectual property rights in the Iranian market.
