Registration of trademark in Curacao
Curacao is the largest island of the Netherlands Antilles that is located in the south of the Caribbean Sea. Similarly-named self-governing state formation is a subject of the federation within the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
Since the Netherlands is a party to the Madrid Agreement Concerning the International Registration of Marks, as well as a member of the European Union, the trademark of Curacao can be registered as follows:
- According to national procedure;
- According to regional procedure;
- According to international procedure.
However, more convenient method to protect intellectual property on the island is provided by the Patent Cooperation Treaty, which is the basis of the PCT system, in which Curacao also participates.
The capabilities of this system ensure cost-efficiency and simplicity of filing application to one Office, using any of the languages recognized as official.
The documents are verified for their completeness and compliance with the requirements for registration. Such verification is formal examination, which certifies availability of the application containing the following:
- Information about the applicant and his address;
- Description and qualitative image of the designation;
- List of classes according to the ICGS.
One copy of the application shall be mandatorily sent to the WIPO and one more copy - to the International Search Authority. Moreover, the applicant, who tends to assure himself of the trademark's protectability, may apply for the provision of International Preliminary Examination Services.
Upon the expiry of 18 months, when the conducted examinations (formal and substantive) confirms compliance of the application with all requirements, international publication of information about the application is carried out.
Since the Patent Cooperation Treaty provides for transfer to the national stage, records management that allows obtaining title of protection in Curacao shall be carried out within 31 months from the beginning of the procedure.
