French Polynesia is an overseas collectivity of France, located in the South Pacific Ocean. It consists of 118 dispersed islands and atolls, including Tahiti, Bora Bora, and Moorea.
French Polynesia is not independent; it is an overseas collectivity of France. It has a degree of autonomy but remains under French sovereignty. However, trademarks registered in France do not automatically grant protection in French Polynesia.
Trademarks in French Polynesia are registered through the Institut National de la Propriété Industrielle (INPI), which is the French National Institute of Industrial Property. In order to have trademark protection in this jurisdiction, at the moment of filing a french trademark it will have to be declared at the moment of filing that the trademark should also be extended to the French Polynesia. This is only possible at the moment of filing. Therefore, if you already have a French trademark that has been registered or is in process of doing so, extending to French Polynesia is not possible. A new trademark application would have to be filed to add the option of extending trademark protection for French Polynesia.
It is recommended to proceed first with a trademark search before filing the application, in order to identify if prior conflicting trademarks exist. Once the application is filed the trademark authority will examine it to make sure it complies with formal requirements. If it meets all requirements, it is published in the official trademark register.
After publication, there is a 2 month period during which third parties can oppose the registration if they believe the new trademark infringes on their existing trademark rights. If no opposition is filed, or if opposition is resolved in favor of the applicant, the trademark is registered and protected.
A registered trademark in French Polynesia is valid for ten years from the date of registration. Renewing the French trademark that served as basis for the extension automatically renews protection in French Polynesia. It can be renewed indefinitely for successive periods of ten years each, provided that renewal fees are paid on time.
