Regulatory AlertsTrade Marks Act (Revised 2020)
The Government of the Virgin Islands, through the Regional Law Revision Centre, issued this revised legislation to consolidate and modernize the territory's intellectual property framework. The Act establishes comprehensive criteria for trade mark registrability, outlines detailed application and examination procedures, and defines the scope of infringement rights for owners and licensees. It further mandates administrative maintenance of a trade mark register, grants the Registrar specific adjudicative powers, and provides clear legal pathways for opposition, revocation, invalidity, and customs enforcement of infringing goods.
