The Libyan Council of Ministers has recently transferred the jurisdiction of the Trademark Office to the Commercial Registrar. While no regulatory changes have been implemented, the Trade Marks Office has temporarily suspended the acceptance of trade mark applications due to the transition.
Importantly, applications filed during this suspension will not be forfeited. They will be processed once operations resume, regardless of any official deadlines that may have lapsed.
