End-to-End Trademark Registration in Antigua and Barbuda

In order to protect a trademark in Antigua and Barbuda it must be registered. Registration is done through the Antigua and Barbuda Intellectual Property and Commerce Office or ABIPCO.

If you register a combined trademark (which includes both word elements and figurative elements) in Antigua and Barbuda, the exclusive right to use the trademark is limited to the exact configuration in which it was filed and registered. If you wish to use the word element separately from the logo (or vice versa), it is recommended to file another trademark including only the word or figurative elements you wish to use and protect separately.

Antigua and Barbuda is also a member state of the Madrid Protocol, so it is possible to extend an international registration of a trademark to this country via the Madrid System. We offer services for trademark filing through the Madrid System.
