The Syrian Arab Republic has announced the withdrawal of certain declaration requirements for international design applications filed under the Hague System, effective July 13, 2025. These changes will simplify the application process for design protection in the country.
Previously, applicants designating the Syrian Arab Republic had to comply with specific requirements related to:
- Description of designs: Providing a brief description of the design's reproduction or characteristic features.
- Unity of designs: Ensuring all designs within a single application formed a homogeneous unit.
With the withdrawal of these declarations, applicants are no longer subject to these specific requirements when seeking protection for their designs in the Syrian Arab Republic, making the application process more straightforward.
