Iraq: registering a trademark costs an estimated US$2,025 for one class, plus US$752 for each further class. Iraq is not a member of the Madrid System, so a trademark must be filed directly with its office. Iraq is a leading import market for carpets and mats (class 27) and textiles (class 24).
Figures by trademark class count branded goods only: raw commodities that are traded mostly without brands - such as gold bars, fuel, bulk chemicals, grain and fabric by the metre - are left out. Hong Kong, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates are left out of the rankings, as much of their trade is re-exported.
Goods where Iraq is among the world's 3 largest exporters, has at least 15% of world exports, or that make up at least 25% of its own exports - of at least US$500m a year.
Our estimate is about US$2,025 for one class, from filing to registration: about US$627 in official fees and about US$1,398 in professional (law firm) fees. Each further class adds about US$752. Responses to office actions and oppositions are not included. These are estimates only: the actual cost depends on the law firm and the application.

Where goods are made and exported, copies are often made too: a registered trademark there lets you act against counterfeits at the source, including with the help of customs.
