Montserrat Trademark Renewal

A trademark in Montserrat remains valid as long as the corresponding UK registration is valid. It follows the same renewal schedule as in the United Kingdom, which is 10 years from the UK registration date.

• No local renewal system exists
• Renewal occurs automatically when the UK base registration is renewed
• There is no statutory grace period, but expired trademarks are rarely removed from the local register, so late renewal is often accepted in practice once the UK mark is renewed

• Certified copy of the renewed UK registration
• Authorization of agent if the request is not made by the recorded representative
• No separate Montserrat renewal application is required

• No formal restoration process exists
• Expired marks are usually still on record and can be renewed by submitting updated UK documentation

• Since renewals depend on UK status, always ensure the UK base mark remains valid
• Update agent and contact information if representation changes

Avoid these errors:

• Letting the UK registration lapse, which invalidates the Montserrat extension
• Not submitting the updated UK certificate
• Assuming automatic reminders will be sent

Your Montserrat trademark will also lapse. If the UK mark is later renewed or reinstated, you may be able to revive protection in Montserrat through a fresh filing.

There is no formal restoration, but you can reassert your rights by submitting a renewed UK certificate if the mark remains on the local register.

No. Use is not required to maintain a trademark in Montserrat.

Submit an updated Power of Attorney or authorization of agent with your UK renewal documentation.
