Why and How Should I register a Trademark in Mexico?

Registering your trademark in Mexico gives you exclusive rights over your brand in one of the largest markets in Latin America. A valid registration helps you stop imitators, build commercial value, strengthen licensing opportunities, and secure your position in the Mexican market.

Trademark rights in Mexico are granted through registration—not use—so filing early is essential to prevent third parties from securing your brand first.

In Mexico, only registered trademarks are granted rights, as protection is obtained through registration with the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property (IMPI). Even if you have been using a mark, you are not granted trademark rights unless it is actually registered, and enforcing an unregistered mark is extremely difficult.

By registering your trademark, you gain exclusive rights to use it in Mexico, the ability to take legal action against confusingly similar marks, and formal recognition through its inclusion in the Mexican trademark register.

Although unregistered marks generally lack enforceability, Mexican law still allows the possibility of filing cancellation actions against another trademark, provided you can prove prior use before the conflicting filing date.

Before filing, it is strongly recommended to conduct a trademark search in Mexico. A search will alert you to any identical or similar marks already registered, provide conflict analysis and recommendations, and help determine whether filing is viable — potentially saving time and money.

Foreign applicants may also register trademarks in Mexico, but under Mexican law they must be represented by a local intellectual property attorney. A power of attorney authorizing representation is required.

Mexico is also a member state of the Madrid Protocol, which means you can either file directly with IMPI or extend an existing international registration to Mexico via the Madrid System.

What Documents are Required for Trademark Registration in Mexico?

Requirements can vary depending on your business structure and the type of mark. You may need to provide ownership details, brand information, and supporting documents.

To begin the process, no initial documents are required. However, foreign nationals and companies must appoint a local IP attorney, and for this, a power of attorney will need to be provided during the procedure.

Your iGERENT consultant will tell you when and how this must be submitted, confirm exactly what is required for your Mexico trademark filing, and help you prepare any additional documents needed to ensure a smooth registration.

How Long Does it Take to Register a Trademark in Mexico?

The average timeframe for a straightforward trademark registration in Mexico is around 7 months. In many cases, the process can be completed in as little as 6 months, provided no oppositions or office actions arise.

These timeframes are based on current practice and may vary depending on the complexity of the case.

Throughout the process, your dedicated iGERENT agent will monitor every stage of the procedure and keep you informed, so you don’t have to worry about deadlines or missing an update.

What Happens after the Trademark Registration Process in Mexico is Completed?

Once your application is approved, the mark is published in the Mexican trademark journal for opposition purposes. After a 1-month opposition period, if no valid objection is raised, IMPI will issue the trademark certificate.

A Mexican trademark registration is valid for 10 years counted from the filing date (not the approval date) and can be renewed indefinitely in further 10-year periods. Renewal can be requested up to six months before the expiration date or during a six-month grace period afterward, subject to a late renewal fee. Missing these renewal windows can put your rights at serious risk.

To stay protected long term and avoid renewal issues, consider our Mexico Trademark Renewal Service, which helps you manage renewals in Mexico and coordinate them with your other countries.

Can I Oppose Someone Else’s Trademark Application in Mexico?

Yes. Once a trademark is published in the Mexican trademark journal, any interested party may file an opposition within one month of publication.

Oppositions are based on the grounds outlined in Article 90 of the Industrial Property Law of Mexico, typically involving confusing similarity or prior rights.

If you miss the opposition window, you may still file a cancellation action after registration, provided you can show prior use of your mark in Mexico.

Is Trademark Use Required to Maintain Registration in Mexico?

Use requirements vary by country, and in Mexico trademark use is mandatory to maintain your registration.

You must actually use the trademark in the Mexican market and file a declaration of use every three years after registration. In some cases, you may also be required to submit evidence of commercial use. Failure to comply can lead to automatic cancellation: the mark will lapse three months after the date on which the declaration of use should have been filed. Lack of use can also expose your registration to cancellation actions for non-use.

If proof of use becomes necessary in your case, your iGERENT consultant will explain exactly what is required, help you gather suitable evidence, and handle the formalities with the Mexican office on your behalf.

How Can I Register a Three-Dimensional (3D) Trademark in Mexico?

Mexico recognizes three-dimensional (3D) trademarks, which allow you to protect distinctive product shapes or packaging. Applications are filed with the IMPI and must include six graphical representations of the mark (front, back, left, right, top, and bottom views) with images that clearly show its three-dimensional nature.

IMPI will examine the 3D mark for distinctiveness and possible conflicts with earlier trademarks. If the mark does not appear inherently distinctive, evidence of acquired distinctiveness through use may be required. As Mexico follows a first-to-file system, early filing is strongly recommended.

If you’re considering a 3D mark—such as a product shape or packaging, contact us for a free, no-obligation case review, and we’ll walk you through your options.
