About this procedure
Your trademark, meaning the name, the logo, the sign the public recognizes you by, is one of the most valuable assets a business builds, and yet many people operate for years without registering it, believing that using it makes it theirs. It doesn't. In Venezuela, the right to a trademark comes from registration with SAPI, not from use: until you register it, anyone can apply for it before you and legally keep the name you built. Registering it is what turns your reputation into property.
Registration gives you the exclusive right to use that trademark in your class for fifteen years, renewable, and the legal tool to stop others from using it, imitating it or riding on your reputation. The process is governed by the Ley de Propiedad Industrial, requires classifying your products or services correctly under the Nice Classification, goes through publication in the Industrial Property Bulletin, where third parties can file oppositions, and takes between eight months and a year. Every step has its technique, and a formal error or the wrong class can cost you the whole registration.
We handle the whole process: we classify your trademark correctly, prepare and file the application with SAPI, take care of the publication in the Bulletin, and follow the case file until your certificate is granted. The price starts at $180 per class and is adjusted to your case. A lawyer reviews your situation and confirms with you before we start, no strings attached.
