Clear scope, flat fees and no surprises. Start with the free search and move forward only if it makes sense.
Search your trademark
Before filing, you need to know whether your mark has a real chance of being granted. We search the IMPI register and tell you whether your name or logo can be registered, or whether it should be adjusted before you spend time and money.
BENEFITS:
- Avoid refusals and wasted official fees.
- Protect your branding investment before launch.
- Get alternatives if similar marks already exist.
- Search in MARCANET
- Review of identical and similar prior marks
- Written registrability opinion

With the opinion in hand we file your application before IMPI and handle the whole prosecution — classification, monitoring and responses to office actions — until you hold exclusive rights in Mexico.
BENEFITS:
- Legal exclusivity: no one else may use your mark in Mexico.
- An intangible asset you can license, franchise or sell.
- A basis to expand the brand to other countries.
- Correct Nice classification
- Filing and monitoring in the IMPI Gazette
- Certificate valid for 10 years
$500.00 USD + VAT
Official IMPI fees included.
Declaration of actual use
Three years after the grant, IMPI requires proof that the mark is still in use. If it is not filed on time the registration is cancelled, no matter how much was invested in building it. We track the exact deadline and prepare the evidence.
BENEFITS:
- Avoids automatic cancellation of your registration.
- Keeps your exclusivity uninterrupted.
- We track the deadline, not you.
- Preparation of evidence of use
- Filing within the statutory term
- Confirmation that your mark stays alive
