    OFFICE ADDRESS TELEPHONEEMAIL

    Under the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works, to which Trinidad and Tobago has been a party since 1988, copyright protection does not require formal registration.

    As a result, the Intellectual Property Office does not have statutory responsibility for the registration of copyright and related rights. However, the Minister with responsibility for intellectual property may assign certain functions to the Office in relation to copyright matters, and the IPO has supported these responsibilities over the years.

    Our Mission

    To nurture an Intellectual Property-Savvy society, moving towards achieving global competitiveness by fostering a knowledge-based economy in Trinidad and Tobago.

    Our Vision

    To be the lead organization that stimulates creativity and innovation throughout Trinidad and Tobago, promoting appropriate mechanisms for the strategic use of the intellectual property system.
