Register a trademark in Mexico
Plan a trademark application with IMPI. Review word marks, logos and combined marks, check for similar marks and identify the relevant Nice classes.
What are you looking to protect?
The Mexican Institute of Industrial Property (IMPI) handles trademark applications in Mexico. Start with what customers use to recognize your goods or services, such as a word, a logo or a combination of the two.
Word mark, design mark or combined mark
Identify whether the application should cover wording, a visual design or a particular combination. Review a commercial name separately from the mark and from the company’s legal name.
Goods and services
List the goods or services that use the mark. The Nice Classification groups them into classes used to prepare the application.
Search for similar marks
Review existing or pending marks that could be similar. A search informs the filing decision without predicting the outcome of IMPI’s review.
Planning steps
From application to renewal
Collect the mark and applicant information
Gather the wording or artwork and identify the applicant and goods or services in scope.
Review classes and search results
Identify the relevant Nice classes and use a preliminary search to inform the application.
Prepare the filing
Review the chosen mark format, application materials and fees, then plan the submission and follow-up with IMPI.
Track the mark after registration
Plan for declarations of use and renewal. Confirm which deadlines apply to your registration.
