Composed of the main islands of Grenada, Carriacu, and Petite Martinique, it is located about 160 kilometers south of the Venezuelan coast, facing Trinidad and Tobago across the sea, facing the Atlantic Ocean to the east, and Barbados to the northeast.
The current trademark regulations in Grenada are mainly based on the Trademark Law that came into effect on August 1, 2012. The Supreme Court Registry is responsible for managing trademark affairs, and the official language of Grenada is English.
Applicants can apply for "single country registration" locally. If the applicant does not reside in Grenada, they must entrust a local specialized agent to handle it. The basic materials required for trademark application are:
1. Trademark design;
2. Specific product items;
3. Name and address of the applicant;
4. The power of attorney needs to be notarized or stamped with an official seal;
5.If priority is declared, priority proof documents and corresponding English translations must be provided.
Grenada adopts the Nice classification system and accepts multiple types of applications. Trademark registration generally takes about six months, and the opposition period is within one month after the initial announcement of the trademark. If there is no objection or the objection is not established during the announcement period, the registration certificate will be approved and issued.
The Grenada trademark is valid for 10 years after registration, starting from the date of application; Renewal can be processed within 6 months before the expiration date, with a grace period of 6 months; The renewal is valid for 10 years. If a trademark is not used continuously for three years after registration, anyone can apply for revocation.
Before the implementation of the new law in Grenada, there were two ways to register trademarks: one was to extend protection based on UK registration, and the other was to directly apply for registration locally; Starting from August 1, 2012, trademark registration based on UK registration is no longer applicable locally.
