Frequently asked questions
Why register a trademark?
Registration with the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property grants the exclusive right to use the trademark and allows you to take legal action against anyone who uses it without authorization.
What is the difference between a patent and a utility model?
A patent protects new inventions that involve an inventive step and have industrial application; a utility model protects modifications to objects or tools that give them a new function or advantage.
