Barbados Compliant With IP Rights Protection

Barbados is well-established in the international framework of intellectual property rights protection, thanks largely to the work of the Corporate Affairs and Intellectual Property Office (CAIPO).

This was intimated recently by Minister of Industry, International Business, Commerce and Small Business Development, Donville Inniss, at the opening of a two-day workshop on Brand Protection and Intellectual Property Rights Enforcement conducted by CAIPO at Baobab Tower, Warrens, St. Michael.

Acknowledging that the island had been a member of the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) since 1979, Minister Inniss said it was also a signatory to all key international agreements which are administered by WIPO, and which serve to shape the intellectual property regime here.
