Trademark Registration in Uruguay- Protect Your Brand Nationwide

Trademark matters in Uruguay are administered by the National Directorate of Industrial Property (Dirección Nacional de la Propiedad Industrial – DNPI), operating under the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Mining. Foreign applicants are required to file through a locally appointed Uruguayan trademark agent.

Why Trademark Registration is Important in Uruguay?

Exclusive Rights: Grants you exclusive legal ownership and control over your trademark for the registered goods/services throughout Uruguay.

Legal Enforcement: Enables you to take action against infringement, counterfeiting, and unauthorized use through the National Directorate of Industrial Property (DNPI) and Uruguayan courts.

Nationwide Protection: Secures trademark protection across the entire territory of Uruguay.

How the Uruguay Trademark Registration Works

The Uruguay trademark registration system follows a structured sequence of reviews, publications, and legal checks. These steps ensure that trademarks meet all statutory requirements and remain protected over time. 

1

Filing

Trademark applications are filed with DNPI through a locally appointed trademark agent. The application includes applicant particulars, representation of the mark, and specification of goods/services under the Nice Classification. An application number is assigned upon filing.

2

Examination

DNPI conducts a formal and substantive examination to assess registrability, including distinctiveness and potential conflicts with earlier trademarks.

3

Publication

If accepted, the trademark application is published in the Official Industrial Property Bulletin.

4

Opposition Period

Third parties may file an opposition within 30 days from the date of publication.

5

Registration

If no opposition is filed, or if opposition proceedings are resolved in favor of the applicant, the trademark proceeds to registration and a certificate is issued.

6

Validity & Renewal

Uruguayan trademarks are protected for 10 years from the registration date and may be renewed indefinitely for successive 10-year terms upon payment of renewal fees.
