TRADEMARKS AND PATENT REGISTRATION


Trademarks and Service Marks Registration

Welcome to our trade marks and patent registration service. We, along with our locally affiliated law firm, provide a responsiveness, professionalism and efficiency which is unequalled by other service providers in Dominica. As a result, we have built up an enviable international clientele while maintaining the personal dedication and attention which all clients desire.

The Marks, Collective Marks and Trade Names Act 1999 went into force on February 10, 2009. In addition to trade mark registrations, service marks can now be registered under the Nice Classification, and Paris Convention priority is now available. New registrations are for a term of 10 years, with renewals for consecutive periods of 10 years.

The new Act protects existing United Kingdom based and local registrations under the old Acts for the full remainder of their terms (14 years for local registrations).
