TRIPOLI - A new procedure regarding the authentication of some documents required for filing trademark applications has been applied by the Libyan Trademark Office with effect from June 1, 2008.
Documents such as the Power of Attorney and the extract of the entry of the applicant company in the Commercial Register should now be authenticated by the Libyan Ministry of Foreign Affairs, after being legalized by the Libyan consulate in the applicant’s home country.
Previously, it was only required to legalize the Power of Attorney and the extract up to the Libyan Consulate in the applicant’s home country.
