International Arrangements
Notwithstanding that Grenada is the party to the Paris Convention, we understand that Convention priority cannot be claimed because the necessary Implementing Regulations which will allow for the same have not yet been promulgated.

Substantive (local) patents are valid for a period of 14 years from the local filing date;
PCT patents are valid for a period of 20 years from the international filing date;
Re-registration patents are valid for a period of 20 years from the corresponding EP(UK) parent filing date.
Renewal
The law requires that renewal fees are paid annually in respect of substantive (local) patent cases, commencing on the 4th anniversary of the filing date. However, such payments are not currently being collected by the Registry, pending the promulgation of the relevant Implementing Regulations.
design information
There is no independent protection of designs available in Grenada – instead, UK registrations automatically cover the territory of Grenada.
