The Marshall Islands are located in the central Pacific Ocean and are part of the Federated States of Micronesia. They are bordered to the north by Wake Island, to the south by Nauru, to the west by the Federated States of Micronesia, and to the east by Kiribati. There is currently no relevant trademark law or trademark authority in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, making it impossible to conduct trademark searches and registrations, and this situation may continue for a long time in the future. The usual practice for protecting trademarks in the Marshall Islands is to publish warning notices in large local newspapers declaring trademark rights, which is currently the most effective method for protecting trademarks in the Republic of the Marshall Islands.
In the event of infringement, warning notices are undoubtedly the most direct and commonly used tool for safeguarding rights. The function of a warning announcement is not only to declare one's own trademark rights, but also to warn others not to use the trademark without authorization, otherwise infringement lawsuits will be filed. The trademark owner is required to regularly publish warning notices, usually once every 1-2 years, to maintain the validity of the trademark and also serve as a basis for future rights protection.
