The Trademarks Act of 2012 has now come into effect and replaces the Registration of United Kingdom Trade Marks Act Cap 284 of 1939. Under the new Act the UK-based system has been abolished, and there is only provision for independent registration. However, under the transitional provisions existing UK-based registrations shall continue to have effect as if registered under the new Act.
