The BES Islands, comprising Bonaire, Sint Eustatius, and Saba, are special municipalities of the Netherlands located in the Caribbean. They are not independent but are part of the country of the Netherlands.
Trademarks for the BES Islands are independent from trademarks registered for the Netherlands via the Benelux. However, they are registered through the Benelux Office for Intellectual Property (BOIP), which is responsible for the registration and management of trademarks and designs in the Benelux region and the Caribbean Netherlands (BES Islands).
It is recommended to proceed with a trademark search before proceeding with an application, in order to identify if prior conflicting trademarks exist.
When filing a trademark for registration in the BES Islands, the trademark authority will examine the application to determine if the trademark application is in compliance with formal requirements and determine if possible conflict exists with priorly registered trademarks. If it meets all requirements, it is published in the official trademark register.
Although there are no opposition proceedings in which third parties can prevent the registration of the trademark, once registered cancellation actions may be presented based on relative or absolute grounds.
A registered trademark in BES Islands is valid for ten years from the date of registration. It can be renewed indefinitely for successive periods of ten years each, provided that the renewal is processed in time.
