In Barbados, a trademark application undergoes three main phases: examination, publication, and registration.

Next, the mark and its details are published, allowing third parties the opportunity to oppose it. If any opposition is successfully resolved by the trademark owner, the final phase is registration, where the trademark is officially granted.
