Notes
The notification by Saint Lucia to the WTO under article 63.2 of TRIPS states:
'This legislation is new to the Statute books having never been introduced before. The Act provides for acts or practices which constitute unfair competition and also for acts or practices which may cause confusion with respect to another's enterprise or activities. The Act also deals with acts and practices in the course of industrial or commercial activities which amount to misleading the public and the discrediting of another's enterprise and activities.
The Act requires no administrative responsibilities by the Registry of Companies and Intellectual Property and places its operation solely in the hands of the Court.'
