Register a Trademark in Colombia
Protect your name, logo, and commercial identity before the Superintendence of Industry and Commerce (SIC). Feasibility study, application, and complete process follow-up.
Why register your trademark in Colombia?
Your trademark is one of your company's most valuable assets. The name, logo, and distinctive signs that identify your product or service in the market need legal protection. Without registration, any third party could use an identical or similar name, creating confusion among your customers and diluting your business value.
In Colombia, trademark registration is governed by Andean Decision 486 and administered by the Superintendence of Industry and Commerce (SIC). Registration grants an exclusive right of use for 10 years, indefinitely renewable.
Types of trademarks you can register
Word mark
Protects the name or words that identify your product or service. Example: "BREUK".
Figurative mark
Protects a graphic design or logo without text. Ideal for isotypes and symbols.
Mixed mark
Combines name and graphic design in a single registration. Protects the specific combination.
Sound mark
Protects distinctive sounds associated with your brand. Increasingly relevant in apps and digital platforms.
