With iGERENT, you benefit from:
With iGERENT, your trademark registration in Ecuador is simple, secure, and fully compliant.
To register a trademark in Ecuador, you must provide an original power of attorney document that is signed, notarized, and legalized either by Apostille or before the Ecuadorian consulate. This document authorizes the local representative to act on your behalf before the IEPI during the trademark registration process.
Document requirements may vary, but if anything else is needed (additional forms, clarifications, or supporting materials) our experts will guide you step by step to make sure your application is complete, accurate, and fully compliant.
The average time for a straightforward trademark registration in Ecuador is around 8 months. This is an estimated timeframe based on current processing times for uncomplicated cases, and the actual duration may vary considerably depending on office objections, oppositions from third parties, or other procedural issues.
Regardless of how long it takes, your dedicated consultant will monitor the application and keep you informed at each stage, so you never have to worry about deadlines or follow-ups.
Once your trademark is successfully registered in Ecuador, it enjoys a validity of ten (10) years from the date of registration. To keep your rights in force, the trademark can be renewed every 10 years. Renewal may be requested up to six (6) months before the expiry date, and there is also a six-month grace period after expiration during which renewal is still possible upon payment of late renewal fees.
Additionally, after registration, the mark must not remain unused for more than three (3) consecutive years, or it becomes vulnerable to cancellation actions for non-use. Use must be on a commercial scale, although in some situations a lack of use may be justified.
Because Ecuador is a member of the Andean Pact CAN, use of the trademark in any other member state — such as Bolivia, Colombia, or Peru** — may be sufficient to defend the registration against a non-use cancellation action.
Once your trademark is registered, you must renew it periodically to maintain your rights. We always remind clients that renewal deadlines are essential for keeping a trademark active. For streamlined management and to avoid missing key dates, you can use our Trademark Renewal Service in Ecuador, and let our team handle the renewals and formalities on your behalf.
Yes. In Ecuador, opposition actions can be filed against a trademark application. Third parties may submit an opposition within thirty (30) business days from the date the application is published in the monthly gazette. Publication occurs before the office carries out its substantive examination.
If someone tries to register a trademark that includes a principal or distinctive element similar to yours, for identical or related goods or services, you may oppose the application based on likelihood of confusion. The chances of success will depend on the specific facts and supporting evidence in each case.
Use is not required to file or obtain a trademark registration in Ecuador. However, after registration, lack of use can have consequences. If a trademark is not used for three (3) consecutive years, third parties may initiate cancellation actions for non-use. To avoid this, the mark must be used on a commercial scale, although in certain cases a lack of use may be justifiable.
Because Ecuador is part of the Andean Community (CAN), use of the trademark in other member states — such as Bolivia, Colombia, or Peru** — may also be considered to defend the registration against non-use cancellation.
If Ecuador requires proof of use or additional documentation at any stage, iGERENT will guide you through the process and help prepare all necessary materials.
