Haiti

Requirements

Requirements for Filing Trademark Applications in Haiti

1. Full particulars of the applicant (name, address, country of incorporation).

2. An executed Power of Attorney (no notarization or legalization is required).

3. Detailed description of the goods or services for which the mark has been adopted (the International Classification of Nice is used) – (description in French or can be translated).

4. Five facsimiles of the mark (if not a sole word) or clients may also forward digital files in a .jpeg format.

5. A certified copy of registration when international priority is to be claimed.

Notes:

- Service trademarks can be registered in Haiti.

- Multiple class applications are not acceptable in Haiti.

- For the new international class, 43 and others, we need to receive a copy of the certificate of registration in the country of origin of the applicant. This is required to claim protection in those new classes under the Paris Convention as Haiti’s trademark law does not have those new classes.

Length of time for registration: about eight to twelve months counting from the date of filing.

Opposition

Within two months of advertisement of mark in the Official Gazette LE MONITEUR, any person may give notice of an opposition to the Haitian Trademark Office (ministry of Commerce and Industry)

If there is no opposition, the mark is registered after the opposition period has expired.

Registration is valid for a period of ten years and can be renewed for additional period of ten years.  However, to maintain the registration in the registers, it is compulsory to produce, within the first three months of the sixth year of registration either a ‘‘declaration of use’’ or ‘‘non-use’’.  Otherwise the trademark is considered as abandoned and can be registered by any person who wants it.

Modifications

• Any change of name, of address or assignment of trademark should be recorded with the Trademark Office.

Renewal

1. A Power of Attorney, simply signed by the applicant.

2. The trademark date and registration number and class of good.

3. The date of the Proof of Use or Non Use. 

4. The date of expiry of the trademark registration.


Change of Name of Address

1. A Power of Attorney simply signed by the applicant.

2. A legalized document of the change of name or address (a French translation is required) with the list of trademark which are still in force in the registers, along with their number of registration.

Assignment

1. A Power of Attorney.

2. A legalized deed of assignment (a French translation is required) with the list of trademarks which are still valid in the registers along with their registrations’ numbers.
