Lebanon: Update on IP Office Operations
06-Oct-2024 BEIRUT – The IPO has announced an extension of all deadlines that were scheduled to expire beginning on September 23, 2024, until further notice, due to the current situation in Lebanon. All deadlines will be preserved during this period.
The IPO is currently operating partially and accepts patent and design applications, as well as new trademark applications with a priority claim, renewals, annuities, and all recordal applications. However, new trademark applications that do not hold a priority claim can be submitted online only; while examination will begin upon further notification from the office.
In this respect, we would like to reassure our clients that we are still accepting new applications, which will be sent to the IPO as soon as operations resume. Should you have any further questions or information, please contact us at Lebanon@agip.com
In the meantime, we wish our colleagues, friends, families and all the people of Lebanon all the best, health and safety.
