End-to-End Trademark Registration in Solomon Islands

In the Solomon Islands, trademark registration is mandatory to obtain exclusive rights, as it is a “first-to-file” jurisdiction. Only in exceptional cases can unregistered trademarks be protected.

To secure protection:

• You must first register your trademark in the United Kingdom.
• Once you have a valid UK registration, you can extend that registration to the Solomon Islands through the Solomon Islands Registrar General’s Office.
• This extension grants you exclusive rights to use the mark in the Solomon Islands for the goods and services covered.

Prior use of the trademark in the Solomon Islands is not required in order to extend and obtain protection.

To register a trademark in Solomon Islands, 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 the process is around 18 months for straightforward cases.
• This timeframe may vary depending on administrative or substantive issues that arise.

Once the extension of the UK trademark is granted:

• Your trademark becomes registered in the Solomon Islands with a term of protection identical to the underlying UK registration.
• As long as the UK trademark remains in force and you request renewal in the Solomon Islands after renewing in the UK, your protection in the Solomon Islands continues.

In practice, this gives you exclusive rights in the Solomon Islands matching the scope and duration of the UK registration on which it is based.
