How we protect trademarks in real cases

Trademark and commercial slogan registration for a restaurant chain

If a company creates a restaurant chain called Sabor Paisa and uses the slogan "el gusto de mi tierra," it needs to protect both signs before the SIC. Registering only the name does not always protect the commercial phrase as well. In these types of cases, we support the registration strategy to prevent third parties from using similar elements and creating confusion in the market.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between intellectual property and copyright?

This is a very common question. Intellectual property and copyright are closely related, but they are not the same. Intellectual Property is the general "umbrella" that protects creations of the mind. It is divided into two branches: • Industrial Property: Protects trademarks, patents, and designs. • Copyright: Protects literary, artistic, and scientific works, as well as software. In short, while the former protects commercial identity, the latter protects creative expression.

How does trademark registration work in Colombia?

Trademark registration in Colombia is carried out before the Superintendency of Industry and Commerce (SIC). The process begins with a background search to verify that the name or logo does not already exist. Then, the application is submitted, published in the Industrial Property Gazette to allow for third-party oppositions, and finally, the SIC decides whether to grant the exclusive right for 10 renewable years.

Why is it important to protect intellectual property in Colombia?

Having a solid intellectual property strategy in Colombia allows companies and entrepreneurs to prevent third parties from profiting from their ideas or confusing consumers. Furthermore, a registered trademark or a granted patent becomes an intangible asset that increases the commercial value of your business and can be sold, licensed, or used as financial collateral.

What happens if someone uses my trademark without my authorization?

If you hold the title of ownership, you can initiate legal action for rights infringement. This ranges from precautionary measures to remove products from the market to judicial proceedings to demand compensation for damages caused to your reputation and sales.

Does my trademark registration in Colombia protect me in other countries?

Not automatically. The principle of industrial property is territoriality. This means that trademark registration in Colombia only grants you rights within the national territory. If you wish to expand your business abroad, you must perform specific registrations in each country or use tools such as the Madrid Protocol for simplified international protection.
