End-to-End Trademark Registration in Kiribati

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.

To register a trademark in Kiribati, 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 time for a trademark to be registered in Kiribati is around 6 months in straightforward cases.

This is an estimated timeframe and may vary depending on administrative or procedural factors.

Once the trademark is re-registered in Kiribati:

• Protection in Kiribati is valid for the same duration as the corresponding UK registration.
• The trademark can be renewed indefinitely, as long as the UK registration remains in force and the corresponding renewal fees are paid.

In practice, this means that maintaining your UK registration automatically supports the continued validity of your Kiribati protection.
