The Industrial designs and models shall not be considered new or distinct if they do not differ significantly and fundamentally from the industrial designs and models known before or are allocated to another type of products other than those covered by the industrial design or model previously filed.

The industrial design or model shall be considered new if it has not been disclosed to the public anywhere in the world in any way, including substantial use or publication whether prior to the date of filing an application for registration or before the date of the priority application, as appropriate. However, the industrial design or model shall not lose the novelty element if the disclosure or description has taken place after filing an application for registration in any country member to any relevant Convention valid in Syria and provides reciprocal treatment to Syria, or whether the disclosure has taken place in national or international exhibitions or the industrial design or model was published in a conference or a scientific periodical during a period not exceeding six months prior to the date of filing an application for registration in Syria.

The application in Syria ought to be supported with a priority document (in case of convention application), a certified copy of a home or foreign registration certificate (in case of non-convention application). Thus if this document still shows the creator name, who is not the applicant in Syria, then an assignment into the applicant will be needed against this document to proceed with the registration procedures. Design registration is assignable to any side.

Secret filing is not applicable in Syria. However, the applicant may request postponing the publication of the design or model for a period not exceeding twelve months from the filing date of application or the date of priority in the event of claiming priority.

It is possible to apply for multi-design applications (up to five homogeneous models) provided that they form a unit in the subject, with separate fees for each of them. The multi-design application will be processed simultaneously. A separate registration certificate will be issued for each design.

The duration of design registration is (5) years and is renewable for two consecutive similar terms.

A-Industrial designs and models that are contrary to public order or public morals. 
B- Industrial designs and models, which represent engravings or patriotic or foreign slogans, religious symbols, seals or flags or flags of the Syrian Arab Republic or to other countries or international organizations.
