Libyan Trademark Office: Trademark Renewal Practice Update

The Libyan Trademark Office has recently introduced a change to its practice regarding trademark renewals. Renewal applications will now only be accepted for a fixed term of ten (10) years. It is no longer possible to select a specific number of years for renewal, as was previously permitted.

The official government renewal fee remains USD 20,000 per trademark per class.

For trademarks where renewal applications have already been filed for only one year or for multiple years, applicants will be required to file additional renewal applications to cover the remaining period and complete the full ten-year renewal term.
