leap options

I found that the options that are bought a year or more in advance called leap and says it is long term investment. I am not sure on either. If I buy options with expiration date Jan 2019 as of today June 13, 2017, is it considered a leap?
If so, is it taxed as long term investment if I hold it for more than a year?
