New Trade Mark Regulations In Lebanon

news article
Written By Tim Noel

Effective from 15th February 2024, Lebanon has implemented Budget Law No. 324 which has altered the fee structure and duration of trade mark protection.

 

Any trade marks registered after 15th February 2024 will have a reduced 10-year protection term, shortened from the previous 15-year term. Existing registered trade marks which currently benefit from the 15-year duration will transition to the new 10-year term upon their next renewal.

 

As well as this change, the official fees associated with the filing, registration, renewal, and recordal of trade marks have increased.
