To obtain trademark protection in Kiribati, you must first have a registered trademark in the United Kingdom. Once your trademark is registered and valid in the UK, you can request that it be re-registered in Kiribati.
The system in Kiribati is based on UK registrations under the Registration of United Kingdom Trade Marks Ordinance (in force since 22 August 1939). This ordinance allows extension of protection from the UK to Kiribati, rather than having a fully independent national filing system.
The re-registration in Kiribati is handled by the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Cooperatives. This route is recommended if you are already protected in the UK and wish to extend your brand protection to the central Pacific region.
