Trademark Registration in Colombia - Legal Protection

Why Is It Important to Register a Trademark?

Trademark registration is more than a legal formality; it’s a strategic investment in your business growth. By registering your trademark, you gain:

• Exclusive Protection: Prevent others from using your name, logo, or slogan without your authorization.
• Legal Recognition: Officially establishes you as the trademark owner, protected by law.
• Commercial Value: A registered trademark boosts customer confidence and can become a valuable asset for your business.
• Competitive Advantage: Ensures your brand identity is unique in the market, setting you apart from competitors. Without registration, you risk others using your brand or even registering it under their name.

Steps to Register Your Trademark in Colombia

At Servicio Legal, we simplify and streamline the trademark registration process. Here are the key steps:

1. Trademark Search

Before registering your trademark, we verify if any similar or identical trademarks already exist in the SIC’s database. This ensures the process is viable and free from legal obstacles.

2. Trademark Classification

We identify the class of products or services your trademark will represent, based on the International Nice Classification, to ensure proper registration.

3. Application Submission

We prepare and submit your application to the SIC, including all necessary documentation (name, logo, trademark description, etc.).

4. Process Monitoring

We continuously monitor the process to address potential oppositions or additional requirements that may arise.

5. Registration Approval

Once approved, you will receive the official certificate granting you exclusive rights to your trademark in Colombia. The entire process typically takes 6 to 8 months, depending on the case's complexity and any objections raised.
