Frequently Asked Questions
Why should we register our trademark before investing heavily in marketing?
Investing in website design, signage, and advertising for an unregistered brand carries massive legal risk. If another entity registers your name, you may be legally forced to cease operations and rebrand completely, losing all invested equity.
How long does registered trademark protection last?
An officially granted trademark provides 10 years of exclusive legal protection, renewable indefinitely for consecutive 10-year periods.
What is the difference between a word mark, figurative mark, and mixed mark?
A word mark protects the text name alone regardless of styling. A figurative mark protects the visual graphic symbol. A mixed mark protects the combined combination of the brand name and graphical logo together.
Can you help us register our trademark in international markets like the United States?
Yes. In addition to Colombia (SIC), we handle trademark filings before the USPTO in the United States and coordinate international Madrid Protocol filings for global expansion.
