Frequently Asked Questions About Trademark Renewal in Barbados

In Barbados, trademarks are registered with the Corporate Affairs and Intellectual Property Office (CAIPO) and must be renewed every 10 years to maintain protection.

Failure to renew on time results in automatic lapse, but there is a grace period for late renewals with a surcharge. If the trademark is not renewed within the grace period, it is permanently removed from the register.
