| Trademarks in Venezuela are administered by the Autonomous Intellectual Property Service (Servicio Autónomo de la Propiedad Intelectual – SAPI), the official government authority responsible for industrial property matters. SAPI operates as an autonomous body attached to the Venezuelan government and oversees the registration and administration of trademarks, patents, industrial designs, and other intellectual property rights in accordance with national legislation and international treaties to which Venezuela is a party.
SAPI has been actively managing intellectual property registrations for decades and has granted hundreds of thousands of trademarks, patents, and related IP titles, reflecting its central and authoritative role within Venezuela’s intellectual property system. |
Exclusive Rights: Grants you exclusive legal ownership and control over your trademark for the registered goods/services throughout Venezuela.
Legal Enforcement: Enables you to take action against infringement, counterfeiting, and unauthorized use through the Autonomous Service of Intellectual Property (SAPI) and Venezuelan courts.
Nationwide Protection: Secures trademark protection across all regions of Venezuela, regardless of where the business operates.
The Venezuela 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.
Trademark applications are filed with SAPI either electronically or physically. Once filed, SAPI issues an official filing date and application number.
SAPI conducts a preliminary review to verify compliance with formal requirements and also a substantive examination. If objections arise, SAPI issues an Examination Report, which must be responded to within the prescribed time limit.
If the application complies with legal requirements, it is accepted and published in the Official Industrial Property Gazette. After publication, third parties generally have 30 days to file oppositions against the mark.
Following publication, third parties have 30 days from the publication date to file an opposition.
If there are no oppositions, or if oppositions are resolved in favor of the applicant, SAPI issues a decision to register the trademark. The applicant then pays the registration fees, and SAPI issues a Trademark Registration Certificate.
