British Virgin Islands: New Trademarks Act in Effect

The new Trademarks Act 2013 and Trademark Rules 2015 came into effect in the British Virgin Islands on September 1, 2015.  Key provisions include:

  • Abolishment of the “dual” registration system whereby a trademark application could either be filed independently or based on a UK registration, in favor of independent filings only.
  • Direct registration of service marks now possible, as opposed to requiring an underlying UK registration of the same mark.
  • Mechanisms for priority filing under the Paris Convention introduced.
  • Protection of well-known marks permitted.
  • Registration of certification and collective marks allowed.
  • Renewal term reduced to ten years.
  • Only registered trademark agents may file applications.
