End-to-End Trademark Registration in Lebanon

In Lebanon, trademark rights belong to the person or company that first uses the mark, but even though registration is not mandatory, it is strongly recommended. Registering your trademark provides clear proof of ownership, helps prevent future disputes, and allows you to enforce your rights in case of infringement or misuse.

Trademark applications must be filed with the Trademark Section of the Ministry of Economy & Trade.
Use of the trademark is not required to file or obtain registration.

If you register a combined trademark (including both word and figurative elements), your exclusive rights apply only to the exact form filed. If you wish to use elements separately (for example, the word apart from the logo), it is advisable to register additional versions of the trademark.

If another party later tries to use or register a confusingly similar mark, you may take legal action to prevent this.

To register a trademark in Lebanon, you will generally need:

• Original Power of Attorney, signed, notarized, and legalized before the Consulate of Lebanon. Please note that sub-legalization in Lebanon is required. The cost is approximately USD 200.
• The name or logo you want to register
• The applicant’s details

Your iGERENT consultant will confirm the exact requirements for your case and guide you through each step.

The average time for a trademark to register in Lebanon is 4 months. This estimated period applies to straightforward cases and may vary depending on the examination process.

Once registered, a trademark in Lebanon is valid for 15 years from the application date and can be renewed indefinitely for further periods of fifteen years.
Renewal can be requested up to 12 months before the expiration date or during a 3-month grace period after it, subject to a late renewal fee.

No, opposition actions before registration are not available in Lebanon.
However, within five (5) years after registration, third parties may file cancellation actions against a mark based on prior registered rights. The outcome will depend on the specific facts of each case.

No, use of the trademark is not required to maintain protection.
In Lebanon, cancellation actions for non-use are not available, so your registration remains valid regardless of use.
