Libya: Design

Industrial designs protect the aesthetic features of products within Libya, ensuring creators can prevent unauthorized copying of their designs:

• Applicants must submit accurate representations (drawings or images) of the design and pay the prescribed fees.
• The initial protection term is five years, renewable twice for a maximum total of 15 years, provided renewal requirements are met.
• Applicants must provide complete details, including the owner’s name and address.

Registration grants the holder the right to stop the manufacture or sale of substantially similar designs without permission in Libya.
