Dear Esteemed Associates and Clients,
We aim to keep you informed about important updates in the jurisdictions we monitor. Here’s the latest news regarding deadlines from the Lebanese Intellectual Property Office (LIPO).
Lebanon: Notice of Extension of Deadlines
Due to ongoing challenges faced by the Lebanese Intellectual Property Office (LIPO), including staff shortages and technical difficulties with their online portal, the office has verbally announced an extension of all deadlines originally set to expire during the closure period. This extension will remain in effect until further notice, effectively pausing all deadlines during this time.
While a formal written announcement is expected soon, this extension has been confirmed by the Head of the LIPO. This update is significant for anyone involved in the intellectual property process in Lebanon.
We are closely monitoring the situation and will provide updates as they become available. If you have any questions or need assistance, please feel free to reach out to: lebanon@alyafi-ip.com.
Thank you for your understanding and support during this time.
