Trademark registration on Gibraltar

Registration of trademark in Gibraltar

Gibraltar is a European state that belongs to the jurisdiction of Great Britain. English is used in the territory of the country, which greatly simplifies the translation of documentation of clients from the CIS countries, and reduces the time for preparing the package of documents. Non-resident from any state can register trademark in Gibraltar.

The country does not belong to the single economic area created by drafting the Madrid Agreement, therefore it is possible to register trademarks in its territory according to the national procedure or the CTM.

1. The national system implies the appropriation of legal force for trademark within the borders of Gibraltar. The local legislative system contains complete regulation of the rights and obligations of trademark owners, which facilitates the understanding of foreign jurisdiction.
2. Common trademark is the system of registration covering the whole territory of Europe. The procedure may take more time at the stage of consideration of the application, but it gives more opportunities for business expansion, and entrepreneur does not need to file documentation package in each country separately.
