Frequently asked questions

Initial information

Does registering a company automatically protect its trademark?

Not necessarily. A corporate name and a trademark registration serve different purposes.

Can I register only the name or also the logo?

Different forms of protection can be evaluated according to the elements you use and your business strategy.

How long does the registration process take?

Timing depends on examination, publications and possible objections or oppositions; the status of each application must be reviewed.

Why conduct a search before applying for a trademark?

It helps identify earlier marks that could cause objections or conflicts and helps define the application strategy.

What does a trademark registration protect?

It protects the mark in relation to the goods or services included in the requested classes, within the scope recognized by the authority.

Does a Panamanian trademark automatically protect me in other countries?

No. Protection is territorial and must be evaluated in each jurisdiction where the mark will be used.
