Trademark and Patent Registration

Your brand protected before someone else files first.

First-to-filegets priority under Paraguay's system, not first-to-use
10 yearsvalidity of a registered trademark, indefinitely renewable
60 daysopposition period after publication in DINAPI's Official Gazette

We handle trademark and patent registration with the National Directorate of Intellectual Property (DINAPI), ensuring your brand, product, or invention has legal protection in Paraguay. The Paraguayan system is first-to-file, whoever registers first gets priority, not whoever used the mark first.

A registered trademark in Paraguay is valid for 10 years, renewable indefinitely, but is subject to a 60-day opposition period after publication in DINAPI's Official Gazette, and can be canceled by third parties after 5 consecutive years without proven commercial use. A patent, on the other hand, can take 5 to 6 years to reach final grant, with 20 years of protection from the filing date. We handle the entire process, from prior-art searches to tracking the opposition deadline, so your intellectual property isn't left vulnerable to bad-faith filings.

What's included

  • Prior-art search before filing
  • Correct classification of the mark or invention under Nice Classification
  • Filing the application with DINAPI
  • Tracking the opposition deadline and any requirements
  • Guidance on renewal and defense against improper use
