Have you encountered inconsistencies in the Trademark Law legal systems
of the different Latin American countries
And when you are explained how they work, you may be left more confused.
Let’s show some examples
In Brazil and in Uruguay, the cancellation actions are allowed a) within the first five years following the granting of the registration, and (b) when the use of the mark has been interrupted for five consecutive years; the other countries allow cancellation from the third year
Since 2018, Argentina requires to file a formal statement of use of the trademark after the fifth year from granting date. By waiving the filing of the statement of use, it is presumed that there is no valid use of the trademark in the country
Only Uruguay has acceded to the Vienna Agreement which establishes an International Classification of the figurative elements of the trademarks.
