Trademark Registration in Peru: Secure Your Brand Legally

Table of Contents

Description

What is it?

Trademark registration in Peru is a legal process that grants the exclusive rights to use a particular brand name, logo, or slogan in connection with specific goods or services. This ensures that the trademark is legally protected from unauthorized use by others, providing the trademark owner the exclusive right to its use and legal recourse in case of infringement.

Who needs it?

This service is ideal for entrepreneurs, business owners, and companies looking to establish and protect their brands in the Peruvian market. It is especially beneficial for those launching new products or services, expanding their business presence in Peru, or seeking to safeguard their intellectual property against potential misuse or infringement.

Procedure

  4. Pay the applicable fees for the trademark application.
  5. INDECOPI reviews the application to check compliance with all legal requirements.
