Certain types of intellectual property rights arise on creation, provided that the necessary criteria are met, but in other cases, intellectual property rights have to be applied for and registered. A failure or delay in ensuring that the appropriate protection is in place can risk a loss of intellectual property rights to competitors.

We can assist with all aspects of BVI intellectual property law including:

• the preparation and submission of applications for the registration of trademarks
• the renewal and assignment of registered trademarks
• the preparation and submission of applications for the registration of patents
• the provision of advice in connection with the potential infringement of intellectual property rights
