The 2026 World Cup ball does more than score goals. "Trionda" is a compact demonstration of how a physical product is protected from four directions at once.
The four layers
Trademark: the name "Trionda" itself, filed in the classes covering sporting goods, and the manufacturer own marks applied to the surface.
Patent or utility model: the internal panel structure, the bonding technique and any embedded sensor technology, where these are new and involve an inventive step.
Industrial design: the ornamental appearance, the panel geometry and the graphic layout, protected as a design because it is the look rather than the function.
Copyright: the artwork applied to the surface, as an original graphic work.
Why all four
Because each covers a different kind of copying. A competitor could imitate the technical construction without using the name, or copy the artwork without copying the engineering. A single right leaves gaps.
The version that applies to your product
If you manufacture anything physical with a distinctive appearance, you likely need more than a trademark. Industrial designs in Mexico are inexpensive relative to patents, are examined mainly on novelty, and are frequently the most useful right a small manufacturer holds. They must be filed before public disclosure.
