According to an update published by Adams & Adams on 16 July 2026, Libya’s Commercial Registry Authority has resumed electronic publication of trademark notices through its official website. The 2026 electronic trademark gazette was issued on 14 May and covers applications numbered 55261 to 57597. Third parties may file oppositions online within 30 days of publication. Gazette publication had previously been suspended for an extended period, leaving the opposition process effectively stalled.
The restart restores an important procedural checkpoint for applicants and rights holders, but the timetable for clearing the backlog remains uncertain. Businesses with pending Libyan applications, or portfolios that require watching services, should review the current gazette promptly and maintain regular monitoring. A 30-day deadline leaves little room for delayed internal escalation, particularly where local evidence and filing instructions must be assembled quickly.
