Registering a trademark with the SAPI (Autonomous Service of Intellectual Property of Venezuela) takes about 18–36 months due to bureaucratic delays and limited resources. Complex cases may take longer.
The deadline for filing an opposition is 30 working days from the publication of the application in the Boletín de la Propiedad Industrial (SAPI’s official bulletin).
In Venezuela, you can register word marks, figurative marks, combined marks, three-dimensional marks, and sound marks, provided they are distinctive. Marks contrary to public morality or national interests are prohibited.
The certificate is valid for 15 years from the registration date and can be renewed indefinitely every 15 years.
The owner has the exclusive right to use the mark commercially in Venezuela, prohibit others from using similar marks, and transfer or license the trademark rights.
The filing fee is approximately $100–300 for one class of goods/services, but due to economic instability and hyperinflation, exact costs may vary. Additional costs may include legal services and fees for extra classes.
No, use is not mandatory, but non-use for 3 consecutive years after registration may lead to cancellation upon third-party request.
If the trademark is not renewed within 15 years from the registration date, the registration is canceled. Reinstatement is possible within 6 months after the deadline by paying an additional fee, but the process may be complicated due to bureaucracy.
