Formal Requirements for Trademark Application Changed


As of 4 July 2024, general powers of attorney (i.e. those that authorise an attorney to act on a behalf of a particular proprietor in all trademark matters) will only be valid in Aruba for 2 years from the date of authorisation according to Bureau of Intellectual Property Aruba (BIP Aruba). Previously, a three year period was permitted. There is one exception to the new rule: if a fee of US$30 is paid to BIP Aruba for the general power of attorney then it is not subject to the 2 year time limit and can be relied upon at any time in the future (unless revoked).

This change was announced in a letter to Trademark attorneys dated 4 July 2024 from the Bureau of Intellectual Property Aruba.

For more information on further changes to the formal requirements for trademark application, you are kindly asked to revert to Ogier.
