Trademarks

In 2012, there were significant changes made to the law in Grenada as it relates to the protection of trademarks. The Registration of United Kingdom Trademark Act of 1939, which previously provided for the registration in Grenada of only trademarks registered in the United Kingdom, was repealed by the Trademarks Act, Act No. 1 of 2012, which sets out new conditions for the registration of trademarks in Grenada, without requirement for prior registration in the UK.

Trademark applicants who have their ordinary residence or principal place of business outside of Grenada must be represented in the process by an agent or an Attorney-at-Law qualified to practice in Grenada. Afi Ventour & Co. is therefore a qualified local agent for the purpose of applications under the Trademarks Act.

Afi Ventour & Co. has advised and assisted many multinational corporations wishing to register their trademarks in Grenada, as well as individuals and small local businesses desiring to do the same.

We are always glad to ensure that we meet the precise needs of our clients by providing the highest quality service. Our trademark services include:

Patents

In 2011, Grenada took legislative steps towards the introduction of a local Patents Act. However, to date this act has not been made into law to facilitate the registration of Patents in Grenada. As soon as same comes into force, we will be happy to start assisting individuals and corporations alike, both local and international, with the registration of their patents in Grenada and all related services.

Afi Ventour & Co. is the proud editor for the Grenada Chapter of the prestigious Kluwer Law International Encyclopedia of Laws for Intellectual Property Law and is highly experienced in the handling of Intellectual Property (IP) matters, in particular, trademark matters.
