To register a trademark in Honduras, you must provide an original power of attorney, which must be:

• signed,
• notarized, and
• legalized by Apostille or before the consulate of Honduras.

The average time frame to register a trademark in Honduras is around 6 months for straightforward cases. This is an estimated processing time based on current application timeframes and may vary considerably depending on the circumstances.

Once registered, a trademark in Honduras is valid for ten (10) years from the registration date. It can be renewed indefinitely for additional periods of ten (10) years each.

• A trademark may be renewed up to one year before its expiration date.
• After expiration, it can still be renewed during a six (6) month grace period, subject to the payment of extra fees (surcharge for late renewal).

As previously stated, use is not required for registration. However, after registration, if the trademark is not used by its owner for a period longer than three (3) years, third parties may file cancellation actions based on lack of use. In certain circumstances, the lack of use may be justified.

Yes. Third parties may file opposition actions against a trademark application in Honduras.

Oppositions must be filed within 30 business days from the last publication of the application in the official gazette. The chances of success for an opposition will depend on the specific circumstances of each case and the degree of similarity between the marks.

Use of a trademark is not required to register it in Honduras, and prior use does not create rights. You can obtain registration without having used the mark beforehand.

Honduras recognizes three-dimensional (3D) trademarks through the Honduran Institute of Intellectual Property (IHPI). For 3D trademark registration, applicants must:

• provide a clear graphical representation of the mark from various angles, typically six views (front, back, top, bottom, left, and right),
• ensure that the shape is distinctive and not solely functional, and
• make sure any text or logos included in the 3D mark are clearly visible in the representations.

Honduras follows a first-to-file system, so prompt filing is important. The IHPI carries out a thorough examination to verify that the 3D mark meets all legal requirements before granting registration.
