The Saint Helena Islands refer to the group of islands that form the British Overseas Territory known as Saint Helena, Ascension, and Tristan da Cunha. This territory includes Saint Helena, Ascension Island, and Tristan da Cunha. Saint Helena is known for being the place of exile for Napoleon Bonaparte, Ascension Island is noted for its strategic military importance, and Tristan da Cunha is the most remote inhabited archipelago in the world.
These islands are not independent but are under the sovereignty of the United Kingdom with a degree of local governance.

This ensures trademark protection in Saint Helena, providing a legal basis for exclusive rights over the trademark.
It is recommended to proceed with a trademark search before going for the application, in order to identify if prior conflicting trademarks exist. This helps to avoid potential legal disputes and ensures that your trademark is unique and can be registered without issues in Saint Helena.
The application includes submitting a copy of the UK trademark registration certificate. The Registry examines the application for compliance and potential conflicts, and if the application meets all requirements, it is published for opposition.
There is a period during which third parties can oppose the registration. If there are no oppositions or if oppositions are resolved in favor of the applicant, the trademark is registered in the territory, and the trademark owner receives a certificate of registration for Saint Helena, providing exclusive rights to use the trademark in relation to the goods or services for which it is registered.
