Ambassador C. Trevor Clarke (Barbados)
B.i Meeting of 23 October 2009, p.m.
14. The representative of Barbados said that two of the legal obligations that would be acceptable to her delegation would be the obligation for decision-makers to consult the register, and the obligation to take the information on the register into account when making decisions on whether to grant a trademark. The information on the register would therefore be one of the determinants of whether or not to grant a trademark.
