Why Register a Trademark in Lebanon?
Registering a trademark in Lebanon provides:
- Exclusive rights to use your mark nationwide
- Legal protection against imitation and infringement
- Enhanced brand recognition and commercial value
- A solid base for licensing, franchising, or international expansion
Without registration, your brand may be copied or exploited without recourse.
What Can Be Registered?
Under Lebanese law, eligible trademarks include:
- Words, names, or numbers
- Logos, symbols, or designs
- Packaging and slogans
- Any distinctive combination of the above
The mark must be original, non-deceptive, and distinguishable from existing trademarks.
The Trademark Registration Process in Lebanon
At Mattar Law Firm, we simplify the entire process:
1. Trademark Search
We begin with a thorough availability search to avoid conflicts or rejection.
2. Application Filing
We draft and submit the trademark application to the Ministry of Economy and Trade.
3. Examination
The ministry examines your application to ensure legal compliance.
4. Publication
Once approved, the trademark is published in the official gazette. A 30-day opposition period follows.
5. Final Registration
If no opposition arises, the trademark is officially registered and a certificate of registration is issued.
