End-to-End Trademark Registration in Montserrat

In Montserrat, the exclusive rights to a trademark are granted only by registration, as it is a “first-to-file” jurisdiction. However, in exceptional cases, well-known trademarks can be protected even if they have not been filed yet.

Trademark registration in Montserrat can be done locally via the Intellectual Property Registry, which depends on the Financial Services Commission, or by requesting the extension of a trademark registered in the United Kingdom. International trademarks that designate the UK can also be extended in Montserrat.

If you register a combined trademark (which includes both word elements and figurative elements) in Montserrat, the exclusive right to use the trademark applies only to the exact configuration in which it was filed and registered. If you wish to use the word element separately from the logo (or vice versa), it is recommended that you register another trademark including only the desired elements.

To register a trademark in Montserrat, you will generally need:

• Original Power of Attorney, signed and notarized.
• 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 application process takes 12 months.

This is an estimated process time for straightforward cases based on current timeframes for applications. It may vary considerably.

Once registered, trademarks have a validity of 10 years from the date of registration if they have been filed locally. They can then be renewed for consecutive periods of ten years. When trademarks are registered as extensions of a UK trademark, their validity depends on the UK registration.

Local trademarks may be renewed up to six (6) months prior to the expiration date. If the trademark expires, it may still be renewed within six (6) months after expiration by paying late renewal fees.
If the trademark in Montserrat is based on a UK trademark, it must be renewed within three (3) months after the UK mark has been renewed. Once lapsed, a trademark may be restored within six (6) months, provided valid justification for the delay is submitted.
