- PROTECTION OF OTHER DISTINCTIVE SIGNS IN COSTA RICA -

COSTA RICA has a legal system susceptible of granting protection to trademarks and the rest of distinctive signs as commercial names, advertisement signs, appellation of origin and geographical indications.

The legal protection and the concession procedure of commercial names and advertisement signs (slogans) is very similar to the legal protection and concession procedure of the trademarks, so the information provided for trademarks is also applicable to such distinctive signs at: requirements, rates, procedures and validity.

Due to the complexity and singularity in the definition of geographical indications and appellation of origin, the requirements and rates related to the registration procedure are defined depending on each case. For further information, please contact us.
