Once registered, a trademark in the Dominican Republic is valid for ten (10) years from the registration date. It can then be renewed every ten (10) years, but the renewal request must include a declaration of use of the trademark. Renewal may be filed during the six (6) months prior to the expiration date, or during the six (6) months following expiration, although late renewals after expiry will incur additional costs.
Although use is not required to obtain registration, once the mark is registered it must not remain unused for three consecutive years. If the trademark is not used on a commercial scale during that period, it becomes vulnerable to cancellation actions brought by third parties.
To stay on top of renewals and avoid losing your rights, you can rely on our Trademark Renewal Service in the Dominican Republic, and let our team handle the deadlines and formalities for you.
Yes. If a third party tries to register a trademark for similar goods or services that includes the main or distinctive part of your registered (or prior) mark, you may oppose the application based on likelihood of confusion.

Use is not required at the moment of registration in the Dominican Republic, but it is essential to maintain your trademark over time.
Prior use can help overcome objections based on lack of distinctiveness by showing that the mark has acquired distinctiveness through use. After registration, if the mark remains unused for three (3) consecutive years, it becomes vulnerable to cancellation actions for non-use, and the use must be on a commercial scale to be acceptable.
In addition, renewal requires a declaration of use, which makes real market use even more important.
If proof of use or additional evidence is requested at any stage, iGERENT will guide you through the process and help you prepare all required documentation.
