TRIPOLI – The Libyan Council of Ministers has recently issued Decision No. 366 of 2025, transferring the administrative responsibilities of the Trademark Office (TMO) to the Commercial Registration Authority as of early August 2025. The TMO will remain under the umbrella of the Ministry of Economy and Trade.
This shift requires some time, during which the TMO is not accepting new trademark applications. Additionally, trademark transactions with deadlines falling during the suspension period will not be abandoned. Instead, these deadlines will be automatically carried forward and processed once the TMO resumes its operations.
Our firm continues to monitor the situation closely and will provide timely updates as soon as additional information becomes available.
