The Trademark Office reintroduces local attestation requirement
The Libyan Trademark Office has announced the reinstatement of the requirement for local attestation of legalised documents by the Libyan Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation.
As a result, powers of attorney and other official documentation submitted to the Office in support of trademark-related matters must be legalised up to the Libyan Consulate abroad and subsequently undergo local attestation in Libya.
Applicants should therefore factor in this additional step when preparing documentation for filings and other trademark actions before the Libyan Trademark Office.
Our firm can assist with arranging the necessary local attestation and provide further guidance on the applicable requirements and costs. Please contact us for more information.
