Patent and trademark owners are unable to register Intellectual Property directly with the Cayman Islands Registry of Patents and Trademarks. Whilst general IP searches can be carried out by the public, a Cayman Islands registered agent is needed to conduct transactions with the Registry.
To meet this need, Lainston offers Cayman Islands patent and trademark registration services. Our Intellectual Property specialists also handle renewal of expired patents and trademarks as well as requests to protect inactive properties through abandonment.
In order for a patent or trademark to be recorded in the Cayman Islands, it must first be registered in the UK or the EU. Lainston has a presense in the UK and can assist with this requirement. For applications meeting all prerequisites, Cayman patent and trademark registration generally takes between thirty and sixty days.
