Registering a trademark with the Companies and Intellectual Property Office (CIPO) takes about 6–12 months if there are no oppositions or errors in the application. Complex cases may take up to 18 months.
The deadline for filing an opposition is 3 months from the publication of the application in the Official Gazette.
In Dominica, you can register word marks, figurative marks, combined marks, and three-dimensional marks, provided they are distinctive. Marks contrary to public morality or state symbols are prohibited.
The certificate is valid for 10 years from the registration date and can be renewed indefinitely every 10 years.
The owner has the exclusive right to use the mark commercially in Dominica, prohibit others from using similar marks, and transfer or license the trademark rights.
The filing fee is approximately $200–400 for one class of goods/services, including registration and publication fees. Additional costs may include legal services or fees for extra classes.
No, use is not mandatory, but non-use for 5 consecutive years after registration may lead to cancellation upon third-party request, as per Section 26 of the Trademarks Act.
If the trademark is not renewed within 10 years from the registration date, the registration is canceled. Reinstatement is possible within 6 months after the deadline by paying an additional fee.
