Update regarding the Trade Marks Act 2023

The Bermuda Registry General has announced that the much-anticipated new trade marks law, the Trade Marks Act 2023, will be coming into effect in 2025. Originally the Act was anticipated to come into force on 1 January 2025. On 31 March 2025, HSM IP received an update from the Government of Bermuda stating that the Act would not be enacted on 1 April 2025, as next expected. The Government is currently working on some amendments to the legislation, with a view to tabling them in the Bermuda Parliament by May 2025. HSM IP continues to monitor this situation closely. For further information please contact Mrinali Menon (Senior IP Manager) at HSM IP: mmenon@hsmoffice.com.
