Regulatory AlertsRegistration of United Kingdom Patents Act (Revised 2020)
The Government of the Virgin Islands, through the Regional Law Revision Centre, consolidates and revises the statutory framework governing the local registration of United Kingdom patents. The Act mandates that UK patent grantees or their successors apply within three years, submitting certified specifications and Comptroller certificates to obtain a local registration certificate that confers full UK patent privileges and duration within the Territory. It establishes clear procedures for opposition, court-led revocation based on UK grounds, and the recording of assignments or transmissions to maintain local patent rights.
