[section 30 of the Industrial Property Act of 1965].
The total period of protection is 15 years – this equates to three periods of 5 years (prescribed fees are payable prior to the expiration of each 5 year term).

"The only Bahamian firm in the WTR 1000, Mosko & Associates is an essential stopping point for companies with IP needs in the Caribbean. Although it provides a range of company law services, intellectual property is the set’s first love. There is nothing Katina Mosko’s crew does not know about the commonwealth’s trademark legislation or, thanks to a comprehensive computer database, about existing rights in the country. Mosko has inculcated in the group an unwaveringly practical approach to deploying its knowledge to sew up strong protection matrices for clients” - 2019 WTR 1000
