Abstract

This study sought to explain a new type of trademark, clarified its most important conditions, and allowed for a statement of the jurisprudential disagreement regarding the most important trademark, which is the olfactory trademark. This study attempted to draw the attention of the Arab legislator in general and the Iraqi legislator in particular to a new type of non-traditional trademark that has emerged in the arena. Trademarks should be understood and recognized in their technical and legal aspects.


This study proved that despite the hesitation of the Arab legislator to legally recognize a mark that cannot be visually recognized, including the olfactory trademark, the French and American legislators recognized the right of olfactory trademarks to legal protection under the trademark system, due to their increasing economic value
