Regulatory AlertsRegistration of United Kingdom Patents Rules (Revised 2020)
The Government of the Virgin Islands issued these revised rules to standardize the procedural framework for registering United Kingdom patents within its territory. The legislation mandates that non-resident applicants appoint a local solicitor, submit specified affidavits or declarations alongside UK patent certificates, and publish formal advertisements of their applications. Furthermore, the 2014 amendments updated procedures for name and address changes, assignment deposits, and patent renewals while establishing a comprehensive schedule of prescribed fees.
