Registration of trademark in Suriname

Registration of trademark in Suriname

In order to register trademark in Suriname, you need to apply to Law&Trust. Our lawyers guarantee privacy policy, prompt processing of data, as well as constant interaction with the client. The trademark in Suriname is necessary both for starting entrepreneurial activity in the territory of this country, and for preventing the copying or counterfeiting your brand.

The trademark is protected by the legislation of the state, and the territory of legal protection depends on one of the five existing systems you used for registration.

1. International registration implies obtaining trademark under the Madrid Agreement and the Protocol. Such trademark will have full legal force and legal protection in the territory of 97 countries, including Suriname. Only one application and one set of documents are required for registration.
2. Commercial use is necessary for clients who are already developing business in one of the countries under the American jurisdiction.
3. Foreign application is submitted by enterprises from countries participating in the Paris Convention.
4. Foreign registration gives opportunity to start entrepreneurial activity in Suriname for any individual entrepreneur or LLC, registered in one of the countries of the world.
5. "Intention to use" is suitable for all clients, including individuals. It does not apply only to businessmen who are under the legislative regulations of America.

The trademark is protected only in those states where the official registration procedure was carried out.
