Trademarks and patents (SAPI)

Absolutely, and do it now, because with trademarks whoever registers first wins, not whoever used it first. We register your name and logo with SAPI (Venezuela's intellectual property office) so they're legally yours. And yes: once it's registered, anyone who uses it is infringing your rights, and we can take action against them. Without registration, on the other hand, that neighbor could even register it before you and force you to change your name. Protect what you worked hard to build. Book an appointment, there's no charge, and we'll look at your case together.

We'll help you with the patent. We file your invention or utility model with SAPI (Venezuela's intellectual property office). We also advise you early on something almost nobody knows: if you disclose your invention before applying, you can lose the right to patent it. That's why it's best to talk to us before showing it at a trade fair or to a potential partner. We review whether yours qualifies as a patent or is better protected another way. Ask for your free appointment and we'll tell you the next steps.

It can be done, and it's usually the smartest option. You don't need to create another company from scratch: we expand your current company's corporate purpose to cover the new activity. And we register the new trademark separately with SAPI (Venezuela's intellectual property office). That way your second line has its own identity with the public but operates under a single structure, with one set of books and one set of obligations. It comes out cheaper and easier to manage. Book your free consultation and we'll advise you.

They can be registered, and it's in your interest to do it. Your content, courses, software and designs are protected by copyright from the moment you create them. But registering them with SAPI (Venezuela's intellectual property office) is what gives you officially dated proof that they were yours first. That record is exactly what you need the day someone copies you and you have to prove it. And we round it out with the assignment and license agreements that apply. Write to us, we'll book a time and protect it.

You can protect it without a patent, and sometimes that's the best decision. Patenting requires you to publish how your formula works, and in exchange it gives you a limited period of protection. A trade secret, on the other hand, lasts as long as you keep it secret. For that, it has to be locked down: confidentiality agreements with your staff and suppliers, control over who has access to what, and specific clauses in your contracts. Our lawyer sets up that framework for you. Tell us about your case and we'll decide which route suits you.

We'll register it, and it's an excellent move for a trade group. A collective mark lets several producers sell under the same quality seal, sharing the strength of a name none of them could build alone. It's what makes a product from a certain region sell better, and at a better price, because of where it comes from. We help you with the registration at SAPI (Venezuela's intellectual property office) and with the rules of use, which define who can use it and under what conditions. Start with your free consultation and we'll tell you how we'll proceed.

Book your free consultation and we'll advise you.

We'll structure your growth, and these are two different paths. Opening your own stores means more control, but all the capital and operations are yours.

We explain which one suits your case and set up whatever you decide. Book an appointment at no charge and we'll go over your case together.

We'll register it. In tech, a name travels fast and crosses borders without asking permission, so registering it with SAPI (Venezuela's intellectual property office) is just the first step.

They're protected by copyright, and in your line of work there's one critical point. Your designs and campaigns are protected from the moment you create them, and we register them with SAPI (Venezuela's intellectual property office) so you have dated proof.

Book your free consultation, no strings attached, and we'll point you in the right direction.
