Trademarks

Trademarks are provided protection under the “Regulations and Systems of Commercial, Industrial, Literary, Artistic and Musical Property in Lebanon” (the 1924 law). The 1924 Law does not explicitly protect notorious trademarks and geographical indications. However, those are provided protection via Lebanon`s membership to the Paris Convention and the Madrid Agreement respectively. Moreover, Geographical indications are provided protection under the provisions of the new Law on Customs, the Law on Fraud Control and the Criminal Law.
