I want to apply for a Panamanian trademark. What is the application process?

There are many enterprises and companies in our country that have corresponding corporate agencies and companies overseas, and this pace includes corresponding companies in Panama. However, in order to register companies in Panama, it is necessary to register local trademarks. Only by registering local trademarks can we obtain local concessions, that is, through corresponding trading and listing, we can achieve corresponding capital exchange and evaluation.

1. Panamanian trademarks

Panamanian trademarks are provided locally for overseas people, and some famous trademarks are equivalent to identity cards. Panamanian trademarks are based on the Industrial Property Law promulgated on November 1, 1996, and then the trademarks revised in 212 and 217 have no possibility of being changed once they are registered. Panamanian trademarks are certified and registered in local institutions in Panama. Only through the trademark registered by Panama Trademark Office and successful application, can the corresponding effect be achieved. Many China enterprises have registered Panama trademarks, so that they can be traded and listed normally in Panama.

II. Trademark registration process in Panama

The trademark registration process in Panama is actually similar to the normal trademark registration, but it is different in time. First, the Panamanian trademark must be based on the law, and then the application for trademark registration should be submitted to the Industrial Property Office of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry. Trademark registration will review the form of documents and trademark registration for each application. If it passes the review, Then you can get the application date and application number of the trademark document. After it is announced by the standard, you can register it in about three months if there are no problems and significance. If it is rejected, you will have a chance to review it. Of course, if the applicant gives an audit opinion to the Ministry of Commerce and Industry within one year, and gives a reply, then the application will be regarded as invalid, and all the application numbers and materials obtained before will be taken back. If you want to apply again, you will have to wait for several months.
