Procedure to Register a Trademark in Portugal
Registering a trademark in Portugal is a clear and structured process, managed by the National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI), ensuring your brand gets the protection it deserves. Here’s an exciting look at the key steps and requirements to get your trademark secured with confidence:
1. Uniqueness Assessment
Trademarks must be distinctive and capable of distinguishing your goods or services from those of others. They should not be generic or descriptive to avoid misleading consumers. This distinctiveness is crucial in establishing the trademark’s identity and eligibility for protection.
2. Availability Check
Before filing your application, conducting a comprehensive search is essential to ensure that your proposed trademark does not infringe on existing registered or pending marks in Portugal. This step is vital to avoid potential legal challenges and rejections from the INPI.
3. Filing the Application
The registration process begins with applying the INPI. This application must include detailed information about the applicant, a clear representation of the mark, and the classification of goods or services (referred to as “classes”) that the trademark will cover.
4. Examination and Publication
Following the submission, the INPI examines the application for compliance with legal standards. If no issues are found, the trademark is then published in the official journal, opening up the floor for public scrutiny and potential challenges from third parties.
5. Opposition Period
After publication, there is a three-month period during which third parties can file objections against the registration of the trademark. This is a critical phase where disputes can be raised, and claims of prior rights can be addressed.
5. Final Registration
If no opposition arises or if any challenges are successfully resolved, the trademark is officially registered. Registration grants the applicant exclusive rights to use the trademark within Portugal, providing legal protection against unauthorized use.
