Trade Marks Rules, 2015
The Cabinet of the Virgin Islands, acting on the advice of the Financial Services Commission, promulgated these rules to establish comprehensive procedures for trade mark registration and management under the Trade Marks Act, 2013. The regulations mandate specific filing requirements, including electronic submissions and designated forms TM1 through TM25, for applications covering standard, defensive, certification, and collective marks. They further govern the examination process, opposition proceedings, renewal and restoration of registrations, revocation or invalidation grounds, registrable transactions such as licences, and the conduct of hearings before the Registrar.
