New Regulations (No. 2) concerning the filing and registration of Patents and Trade Marks were issued by the Ministry of Supply and Domestic Trade on 26th March 1998. However, their implementation was suspended a few days after their issuance, and therefore the documentation required for filing a patent or a trade mark remains as it was before 26th March1998. The modified new regulations are expected to be re-issued within the next few months.
