British Commonwealth English Common Law Jurisdiction

Trade Marks Ordinance provides for local trademark applications. U.K. Trade Marks Ordinance provides for application to extend rights under U.K registration to Dominica with effect from date of registration in U.K., but suit in Dominica for infringement of a U.K. registered trademark can only complain of infringement occurring after the date of registration in Dominica. 

Service marks are registrable in Dominica only via application to extend a U.K registered mark, as above. No local use or intent to use is necessary. International (Paris Convention) priority is not available. Registration term on local applications is 14 years and renewable for like periods; term of trademarks registered as U.K extensions is coterminous with U.K registration.

Authorization of Agent form requires no witnesses, no notarization and no legalization.
