We would like to inform you that on April 3, 2019, Decree N\u00ba 242\/2019, regulation of the Trademark Law N\u00ba 22.362 and its amendments, has been published and it has become effective on June 3, 2019<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most important regulation is made in Article 26, in which it is established that all those trademark registrations\u00a0granted as from January 12, 2013,\u00a0<\/strong>will have to file a\u00a0mid-term sworn declaration of use<\/span>\u00a0before the Trademark Office, confirming the use of the mark. In this regard, please note that even though this amendment has become effective on June 3, 2019, the Trademark Office has granted a grace period to file the aforementioned declaration of use for those trademarks reaching their sixth year of granted or that are close to do so. This grace period ends on\u00a0January 12, 2020.<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is to be noted that the term granted for said presentation will be in the course of the 6th year since the granting date of the trademark or since the date the renewal becomes effective<\/strong>. In the event that this declaration of use is not filed in due time and manner, it will be presumed that the trademark is not in use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this respect, we would like to emphasize that\u00a0even though the Trademark Office will not proceed to repeal the property rights over the trademark registrations in which the affidavit of use has not been filed<\/span>, they will be susceptible to being attacked on grounds of lack of use \u2013 cancellation action \u2013 by a third party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It should be noted that the Trademark Office grants the possibility of filing said affidavit of use once the allowed period has ended, by paying an additional fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, please be informed that the filing of the affidavit of use will be a mandatory requirement to request the renewal of all trademark registrations which have been granted as from January 12, 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, it is important to note that the new Decree has established that as from June 3, 2019, renewal applications may be submitted six months before its expiration date, as well as, during a six months grace period after it expiration, through the payment of additional fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this way, we will inform our clients in advance when the affidavit of use will have to be filed before the Trademark Office in due time and manner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
