In Grenada, trademark rights arise primarily from use: the person or company that first uses a trademark and continues using it in Grenada is generally considered to hold the preferential rights. However, registration is strongly recommended. Being recorded as the registered owner makes it much easier to prevent third parties from registering your mark or using confusingly similar signs, and it greatly strengthens your position in trademark infringement disputes. Trademark applications must be filed with the Corporate Affairs and Intellectual Property Office of Grenada (CAIPO). Even though the system is based on prior use, you don’t need to be using the mark at the time of filing to obtain registration.
If you register a combined trademark (word + logo) in Grenada, your exclusive rights are limited to the exact configuration as filed and registered. If you want to protect or use the word element separately from the logo (or vice versa), it is advisable to file an additional application for a word mark or a pure figurative mark.
