Trademarks

In Argentina, the trademark system is governed by Law No. 22.362 on Trademarks and Designations. The registration of a trademark grants exclusive rights for a period of 10 years, with the possibility of indefinite renewal. A well-structured trademark protection strategy includes a clearance search, proper classification according to the scope of business activities, and consistent use over time. Registering a trademark not only protects commercial identity, but also constitutes a key asset for the growth and consolidation of any business.
