Jamaica Intellectual Property Office (JIPO)

Registering a business name with the Companies Office doesn't stop someone else from using your brand. A trademark does. JIPO is where you search existing trademarks and apply to protect your own name and logo.

What you can do with it

• Search registered trademarks before choosing a brand name
• Apply to register your business name or logo as a trademark
• Learn the basics of copyright and patents

Good to know

Search first. Building a brand on a name someone else already owns can mean starting over later.
