Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Trademark Renewal

A trademark is valid for 10 years from the date of application and can be renewed for subsequent 10-year periods.

• Standard renewal window: 6 months before expiration
• Grace period: 12 months after expiration
• After grace period: Trademark must be re-applied for; restoration is generally not available

• Completed Form 7
• Signed Authorisation of Agent (AOA)
• Payment of renewal and any late fees

• Restoration is generally not allowed
• Re-registration by third parties is possible after one year, although the lapsed trademark is considered a prior right during this time

• The Registrar may notify the owner prior to expiration, but no obligation exists for reminders
• Keep contact information and agent details updated with CIPO

Avoid:

• Missing the 12-month grace period
• Underestimating monthly late fees
• Assuming the system will notify you automatically

You can renew within 12 months after expiration, but a monthly late fee per class applies. After this, a new application is required.

Not formally. Restoration is at the discretion of the Registrar and is rarely granted.

No. Use is not required to maintain or renew a trademark in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

Submit the necessary updates to CIPO to keep your registration current.
