Due to the ongoing challenges faced by the Lebanese Intellectual Property Office (LIPO) arising from the current circumstances in Lebanon, including staff shortages and technical difficulties with the online portal, the LIPO announced the extension of all deadlines that were originally due to expire during the closure period. The suspension of deadlines is effective as of September 23, 2024.

This extension will remain in effect until further notice. All deadlines will be maintained during this period. While a formal written announcement is forthcoming, this extension has been confirmed verbally by the Head of the LIPO.
