Bermuda: Further delays to the new Trade Mark Act
We previously reported that a new Trade Mark Act had been approved by the Bermudan Parliament, which was initially due to come into effect on 01 January 2025, but its implementation was then postponed until 01 February 2025.
We have now received notification from the Intellectual Property Office that the enforcement date of this law has been further delayed, and a date of 01 April 2025 is now being considered. At this time, we cannot confirm whether the new law will be enforced on that date or whether there will be additional delays. Until the new law comes into force, the old legislation is still in effect.
We are closely monitoring the situation and will provide updates once they become available. In the meantime, we would be pleased to answer any further questions you may have regarding the new law in Bermuda and to assist you with your IP applications, renewals and recordals in this jurisdiction.
