Extending UK trademarks to Anguilla

The local Intellectual Property Office (‘IP office’) continues to make every effort to improve the services it provides to establish and enforce an effective system where brand owners and inventors can protect both patents and trademarks. There are key points to keep in mind when filing at the Anguilla Intellectual Property Office to ensure timely and effective processing of trademark applications both pre-registration and post-registration.

Applications based on a UK registration

The Anguilla IP office issued guidelines regarding filing an application based on a UK registration and has specifically pointed out the importance of consistency with the details on the application to what is on the UK certificate. Furthermore, for post-registration applications, the UK registration details and the details on the application submitted to the Anguilla IP office must be consistent with each other and must be consistent with what is on the Anguilla IP office files.
