Country Codes for the Caribbean Netherlands Allocated


The country codes for the subdivided Antilles used by WIPO and applicants of international trademarks have been made definite.
The Caribbean Netherlands (Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba) was assigned the country code BQ. Curacao was allotted the code CW and Sint Maarten now has the code SX.

Now that the country codes are definite, the AN (Netherlands Antilles) designation will soon disappear from WIPO data. All existing trademarks that formerly bore a Netherland Antilles designation, and therefore have AN as a country code, will automatically be subdivided and assigned the three new country codes (BQ, CW or SX). All new international applications must specify for which part of the former Netherlands Antilles the protection is required.
