End-to-End Trademark Registration in Bahamas

In order to secure exclusive rights to a trademark in the Bahamas, registration is necessary.

In the Bahamas, service marks cannot currently be registered. Although changes to local trademark law are underway, only marks that are to be used in connection with goods may be registered at this time.

Trademark registration in the Bahamas is handled by the Intellectual Property section of the Registrar General Department, also known as RGD.

If you register a combined trademark (word + logo) in the Bahamas, your exclusive right is limited to the exact configuration in which it is filed and registered. If you wish to use and protect the word element and the logo separately, it is advisable to file separate trademark applications for those elements.

To register a trademark in Bahamas, you will generally need:

• Original Power of Attorney, signed. No notarization or legalization required.
• The name or logo you want to register
• The applicant’s details

Your iGERENT consultant will confirm the exact requirements for your case and guide you through each step.

The average application process takes approximately 12 months for straightforward cases, based on current timeframes. The actual duration may vary depending on the circumstances of each application.

Once registered, a trademark in the Bahamas will remain valid for 14 years from the application date.

• Trademarks may be renewed up to three (3) months before the expiration date.
• They can be renewed indefinitely for additional periods of 14 years each.

To oppose the registration of a trademark in the Bahamas, opposition actions must be filed within 1 month from the date the application is published in the Trademark Gazette. The chances of success will depend on the specific facts and evidence of each case.

Prior use is not required to register a trademark in the Bahamas.

However, once registered, if the trademark is not used in the Bahamas by the registered owner within five (5) years from the application date, third parties may file cancellation actions based on non-use. To avoid this, the mark should be used on a commercial scale in the country.
