We have received notification from the Intellectual Property Office that the enforcement date of the new Trade Marks Act in Bermuda has been delayed again, 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, but until the new law comes into force, the old legislation is still in effect. 

We are pleased to report that the Bermuda Registry General has now issued an Industry Notice confirming that the new Trade Mark Act has been approved by the Bermudan Parliament.

The Trade Marks Act 2023 and Trade Marks and Service Marks Regulations Amendment and Validation Act 2023 received formal approval in Bermuda on 13 October 2023.
