Cárdenas Vega Asesores assists you with registering and protecting your trademark in Colombia. We assess your proposed trademark, your business's goods or services, and relevant prior trademarks to identify risks, define the scope of protection, and prepare your application for submission to the Superintendencia de Industria y Comercio (SIC), Colombia's trademark authority.
Legal advice to protect your business identity
Our work begins before the application is filed. Choosing the trademark owner, determining the type of mark, and accurately describing the goods or services are decisions that affect the scope of protection sought.
We therefore start with what you need to protect: what your business offers, how you use your trademark, and who will own it. This information helps us define the work required and the scope of our legal services.
How we assist you
- Initial review: we identify the trademark, the applicant, and the goods or services you wish to protect.
- Trademark search and analysis: we assess relevant prior trademarks and the risks you should consider before applying for registration.
- Application preparation and filing: we define the scope of protection, review the documents, and file the application in accordance with the agreed scope of services.
- Application monitoring: we review developments in the proceedings, report decisions, and flag matters requiring attention.
- Ongoing protection: we can assist with trademark watching, renewals, licensing, and enforcement of your rights, depending on the services you engage us to provide.
If you would first like to assess potential obstacles, learn about our trademark search service in Colombia.
What we need to review your case
- Your trademark name and logo, if any
- A description of the goods or services the trademark identifies or will identify
- Details of the individual or company that will own the trademark
A practical tip: give specific examples of the goods you sell or the services you provide. This helps us understand your business and determine the scope of protection to assess.
What you can expect from our advice
A reasoned analysis, a clear explanation of the risks, and a recommendation tailored to your case. Before engaging our services, it is important to establish which actions are included and which may require additional work.
The SIC decides whether to grant or refuse registration. No lawyer can guarantee approval; legal advice helps identify risks and prepare a legally sound application and strategy.
Understand the process before you begin
For an explanation of the stages involved, see our guide to the steps and requirements for registering a trademark in Colombia. If you have not yet decided which type of mark to apply for, review the differences between the types of trademarks.
