2 methods for registering a brand name in Antigua
Entrepreneurs from European Union can secure the rights to trademark and logo by using the registration according to the Madrid system or having passed the national registration in the state of Antigua.
The island state of the Caribbean is included in the list of countries participating in the Madrid Agreement, therefore the registration of trademark in Antigua is the most prevalent and simple way of legal protection of own business. The term of validity of registration under the Madrid Agreement is 10 years, and the renewal of the term for the subsequent 10 years is carried out by means of paying the basic fee.
If desired,it is possible to use one application to increase the number of countries in which the trademark will be registered.
National registration appears to be longer, more expensive and time-consuming procedure. The package of documents should be translated into the national language, and office management is only possible through the patent attorney in Antigua. These requirements significantly increase the time and material costs of registration.
Applying the national registration is expedient in case the trademark for some reason can not be registered in the territory of the European Union.
