Bermuda: Continued delays to enforcement of new Trade Mark Act

Global Update: Patents & Designs
Written By Louise Audhlam-Gardiner

We previously reported that the enforcement date for the new Trade Mark Act had been delayed until 01 April 2025. 

We have now received notification from the Intellectual Property Office that the enforcement date of this new law has been further delayed until May or beyond. 

At this time, we cannot confirm with any certainty when the new law will be enforced. 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.
