Frequently Asked Questions

If I register my trademark in Mexico, will it be protected in other countries?

Your trademark protection is limited to the entire territory of Mexico.

What is the typical duration for trademark registration approval?

The typical time it takes to get a trademark registered is about 12 months, as long as there are no objections or challenges.

Is it necessary to have a Power of Attorney?

While you don't have to sign a power of attorney to file an application, it can be helpful in situations like:

  • when you need to reply to an official request
  • if you need to switch your attorney
  • if you decide to cancel your application

What are the steps involved after filing a trademark application in Mexico?

Initially, the trademark authorities will review the application. The trademark must fulfill all the criteria to be eligible for registration. Once all requirements are satisfied, the trademark will be registered, and its details will be made available to the public.

How long is my trademark valid once it's registered?

Your trademark will be valid for 10 years, beginning from the date you applied for it, not from when it was registered.

Can a registration be canceled?

Yes, you can cancel a registered mark if:

  • it infringes on someone else's rights,
  • there's a breach of contract,
  • it's found to be non-registrable (see non-registrable marks), or it violates Article 6bis, Article 6ter, Article 6septies, and Article 8 of the Paris Convention,
  • it's misleading, deceptive, immoral, etc.

Do I need to use my trademark before applying for registration?

Yes. The law requires applicants to use the trademark before applying for registration. They must provide documentation of when the mark was first used. If the mark is not yet in use, they need to demonstrate their intention to use it.

Who is eligible to challenge my trademark registration?

Anyone with a legitimate interest can challenge your trademark registration. For more details, please reach out to us.

What rights does a registered trademark provide to its owner?

Having a registered trademark gives the owner several rights, including:

  • The sole right to use the trademark commercially
  • The ability to challenge applications that are similar to their trademark
  • The power to seek cancellation of applications that are identical to their trademark
  • The right to take action against counterfeit goods
  • The ability to claim damages for trademark infringement
  • The protection of their trademark from infringement

Is it possible to claim priority for a patent application in Mexico?

Yes, it's possible. If you initially submitted your application in a country that is part of the Paris Convention, you can use that original filing date as your filing date in Mexico. However, you must apply in Mexico within 6 months of your first filing.

Does registering a trademark in Mexico grant me any legal rights?

In Mexico, you must register your trademark to secure your rights. The registration is granted to the first person who files an application. Simply using a trademark does not establish ownership because common-law rights do not apply.

What steps must I take to meet the trademark usage requirements?

You need to use the trademark within 3 years of its registration date. If your trademark was registered after August 10, 2018, you also have to submit a declaration of use 3 years after registration.

If you don't use the trademark for 3 years in a row, your registration can be canceled. To meet the requirements, the trademark must be used in business, and the business activity must take place in Mexico.

To renew your trademark, you must submit a declaration of use with your renewal application.

What is the duration of the opposition period?

Trademark applications appear in the Industrial Property Gazette for opposition within 10 business days after filing. Others have one month from the publication date to oppose.
