limited to the applicants who are residents in Syria or
who have an enterprise operating in Syria. In other
words, if the Applicant Company does not have an
operating branch in Syria, it cannot secure PCT patent
protection in Syria or file the PCT patent application
there, as per what our associate in Syria assured us
after checking with the Syrian Patent Office.
