Trademark Registration in Peru- Protect Your Brand Nationwide
Trademark protection in Peru is administered by the National Institute for the Defense of Competition and Protection of Intellectual Property (INDECOPI). Trademark registrations are governed by the Andean Community legal framework, primarily Decision 486 – Common Industrial Property Regime, along with national regulations. INDECOPI conducts both formal and substantive examination of trademark applications to assess compliance with legal requirements, distinctiveness, and potential conflicts with earlier rights. Peru is a member of the World Intellectual Property Organization and the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property.
