Venezuelan trademark registration: The Industrial Property Law serves as the country’s legal foundation. Registration is required to acquire trademark protection.

Requirements

A local agent must submit a trademark application to the Trademark Registry. All you need is an unregistered power of attorney. A domestic registration is not required for foreign candidates.

Procedure

A formal assessment, a distinctiveness examination, and a trademark search are all part of the application procedure. The trademark application is made available for opposition in the Industrial Property Bulletin prior to registration. After the application date is published in the IP Bulletin, there is a 30-day window for opposition.

Duration

In Venezuela, a trademark registration is effective from the registration date for a period of 15 years. For a total of fifteen years, the registration is renewed.
