As a western Asian (Middle East) country, Lebanon has a complete set of IP law system. Lebanon is a member state to WIPO and also a party to several international treaties. Lebanon’s IP protection is subject to the Commercial and Industrial Property Laws and Systems of 1924 (as may be amended from time to time). This law aims to protect patents, industrial designs, trademarks, copyright and anti-unfair competitions. Any copyright-related content in this law is replaced by the Copyright Law of 1999; any patent-related content in this law is substituted by the Patent Law of 2000.
