The Cayman Islands is modernising its intellectual property regime. The new Trade Marks Law 2016, the Design Rights Registration Law 2016 and the Patents and Trade Marks (Amendment) Law 2016 will all come into force on 1 August 2017. The Copyright (Cayman Islands) Order 2015 and the Copyright (Cayman Islands) (Amendment) Order 2016 came into effect on 30 June 2016, bringing the Island's copyright law in line with modern requirements. This update considers the intellectual property regime in the Cayman Islands as of 1 August 2017.
