Trademark registration procedure in Jamaica:

Trade Marks Act provides for local trademark applications with effect from date of receipt of application. There is no provision for extension of registration of U.K. trade marks as provided in many other Commonwealth Caribbean jurisdictions and international priority (Paris Convention) is now available. However, a U.K. registration certificate may serve as evidence of registrability in the discretion of the Registry. Service marks may now be registered under Jamaica's international (Nice Convention) classification system. Multiple class applications are not acceptable in Jamaica. No local use or intent to use is necessary prior to application but failure to use the trademark within a period of 5 years following registration may subject the trademark to an action by an interested party for cancellation by the Registry or Court. The registration procedure lasts 12 - 18 months to complete. Registration term is 7 years initially.
