Intellectual Property Legislation Update - M. Hamel

Trinidad and TobagoIntellectual Property
The rapid liberalisation of Trinidad and Tobago's economy has created significant business opportunities and made it important for many more foreign businesses to secure their valuable intellectual property rights in Trinidad and Tobago.

As part of this process, Trinidad & Tobago signed the Trade Mark Law Treaty (TLT) in October 1994, the Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property (TRIPs) Agreement and entered into a Bilateral Agreement with the Government of the U.S. concerning the protection of Intellectual Property Rights.

To comply with governmental obligations under these agreements, nine pieces of Intellectual Property legislation were proclaimed into law in December 1997.
