Summary
The nature of the Lebanese registration system is a deposit system.
An industrial model is registrable for an initial term of 25 years starting from the registration date. The duration of a registration is extendible only once for a term of 25 years. A design should be distinguishable from those previously known. Advertising a design prior to filing the application, even by way of sale of the relevant products, does not preclude registration.
Under normal circumstances, the registration of a design is completed within a period of 2 weeks; while the relevant registration certificate is issued within 2 weeks of the registration date.

2. A description of the design.
3. The name, address and nationality of the applicant.
4. A set of the drawings using the metric system specifying the views.
5. If convention priority is to be claimed, a certified copy of the home application must be submitted within three months of the filing date.
