Trademarks, Domains and Copyrights
Trademarks distinguish products, services, industrial and commercial establishments. In other words, they are the link between the market and the consumer. For this reason, at JarryIP we are convinced that their registration goes beyond an administrative matter: it means protecting the effort, creativity, and business of entrepreneurs and companies. Our team provides multidisciplinary advice in the following aspects: Trademark searches. Trademark classification. Trademark processing. Reporting acceptance to registration and providing surveillance for 10 years. Publication in the Official Gazette.
The owner of a registered trademark or domain name is always exposed to the possibility that, among the hundreds of applications and registrations that the authority accepts, there may be trademarks or names similar or identical to those held by said owner. provides a top-quality surveillance service on trademarks and domain names, whose objective is to alert our clients every time a new application represents a conflict for their interests, sending the relevant information to exercise the corresponding legal actions, if necessary. Our surveillance service extends for the entire duration of the trademark (10 years) and the total duration of the domain name.
Trademarks, domain names, and copyrights are transferable, that is, they can be sold, bought, assigned, and transferred, even after the death of their owner. In the case of registered trademarks, transfers and name changes must be recorded in the margin of the respective registration. The owner is responsible for keeping these recordals so that they are always up to date. At JarryIP we handle all these procedures with the highest standard: from the negotiation for the purchase or sale of the trademark, domain name, or copyright; preparation of the transfer document; registration; and procedures before INAPI and other institutions.
The owner of a registered trademark or copyright may authorize its use to third parties through a license. These licenses can be free, paid, exclusive, non-exclusive, limited in time, etc. At JarryIP we are experts in drafting and executing licensing contracts and in determining the specific conditions that each of our clients, depending on their needs, requires for the success of their company or business.
Copyright protects an intellectual work and its author merely on the fact of creating it (for example, a book, a movie, or software). It also protects the rights derived from this work, known as related rights, which correspond to other artists, performers, and phonographic producers who intervene in the work, other than the author. Among others, copyright includes the reproduction, distribution, publication, translation, or adaptation of the work. At JarryIP we develop the optimal strategy for the promotion and protection of our clients’ works, including the analysis of the necessary background for the registration of a work, the administrative procedures for its registration, the negotiation and execution of license contracts, or reproduction payments.
A distinctive feature of trademarks and domain names is that they are renewable rights. Registered trademarks, for example, have a validity of 10 years, which can be renewed for an identical period and so on. In the case of domain names, their duration is variable (1, 2, and up to 10 years), but also renewable over time. At JarryIP, as we understand that a product’s trademarks or websites are essential for the continuity of a company or business, we provide comprehensive advice on renewals and their complexities.
A domain name is an easy-to-remember name associated with a unique, physical Internet IP address, displayed after the “@” sign in e-mail addresses and after “www” in web addresses. In the Internet age, it is essential to register and protect these domain names. has extensive experience in the processing of domain names, for example, in their registration in parallel to the corresponding trademark application process, to also include the latter on the Internet, the most widespread medium today. We are, certainly, experts in litigation associated with domain name conflicts, either defending the registration of our clients or revoking the registration of conflicting third parties.
