Trademark registration in Barbados adopts the principle of "first to use". The so-called "first to use" means that two or more trademarks are used in one industry and appear to be identical or similar. The situation depends on the production or sales date of the product. If the production and sales dates are earlier, it is called "first to use". The advantage is that the exclusive right of a trademark only depends on the use of the trademark. Registration is to enhance the legal effect of the trademark. This principle is to protect the rights of users.
