Essential Guide to Trademark Renewal in Argentina

Protecting Your Brand with Brealant's Expertise

Hand filling in a trademark application form

Legal Basis of Renewal
Under Trademark Law No. 22.362, as amended by Law No. 27.444 and Decree 242/2019, a registration lasts 10 years from grant. Each renewal runs for another 10 years from the expiry of the registration being renewed.
Use Is a Condition
A mark can be renewed only if it was used in Argentina in the 5 years before expiry, for goods or services or as part of the name of a business activity. The renewal request includes a sworn statement to that effect.
One Renewal per Registration
Each Argentine registration covers a single Nice class, so a mark registered in several classes needs a separate renewal for each registration.

Clear, Simple Steps to Renew Your Trademark

Renewal can be requested from 6 months before the expiry date. If that date passes, INPI still accepts the request for up to 6 months after expiry, with an additional grace-period fee. With the request, the owner declares under oath that the mark was used in the 5 years before expiry. For marks granted from 12 January 2013, INPI will not process the renewal until the mid-term declaration of use has been filed and any late fee paid.

Safeguarding Your Trademark in Argentina — With Brealant by Your Side

A registration that is not renewed within the grace period expires, and the mark is no longer protected. Rights that third parties acquire between the expiry date and a late renewal filed in the grace period are also preserved, so renewing before expiry is safest. Brealant's reminders help keep every date in view.

Limitations

What Renewal Cannot Do

Renewal keeps a registration alive, but it has limits

No New Goods or Services
A renewal may cover fewer goods or services than the original registration, but it cannot add any that were not protected before.
No Changes to the Mark
The mark is renewed as registered. A modified logo or wording needs a new application.
Grace Period Has an End
After the 6-month grace period, the registration expires and cannot simply be revived. The mark would have to be filed again as a new application.
Not a Shield Against Non-Use
Renewal does not stop a non-use cancellation request for goods or services the mark has not actually been used for in the previous 5 years.
Ownership Changes Are Separate
If the mark has been assigned, the transfer should be recorded with INPI. Renewal does not update ownership records by itself.

Brealant reviews the registration details before each renewal so that any of these issues are raised early.

What a Trademark Renewal Protects

Renewal keeps the benefits of your existing registration in place, including

Exclusive Rights in Argentina
Your exclusive right to use the mark throughout Argentina for the registered goods or services.
Continuity of Your Registration
The original registration and its history stay in force, rather than starting again with a new application.
Grounds to Oppose and Enforce
A live registration on which to oppose similar applications and act against infringers.
Brand Value
The reputation built up under a mark that has been registered continuously.

Renewing on time preserves what your original registration achieved.

Timeline for Trademark Renewal in Argentina

Renewal follows a date-driven process

Renewal Window Opens
INPI accepts renewal requests from 6 months before the expiry date.
Reminder and Instructions
Brealant contacts you ahead of the deadline to confirm use of the mark and your instructions.
Filing and Payment
The renewal request, sworn statement of use and official fee are filed with INPI through our local agent.
Grace Period (If Needed)
Up to 6 months after expiry, renewal is still possible with an additional fee, without prejudice to rights third parties acquired in the meantime.

Processing times at INPI vary, so we keep you informed until the renewal is recorded.

Understanding Trademark Renewal Costs in Argentina — Simplified with Brealant

Renewal costs depend mainly on the number of registrations and on when you renew

Official Fees
INPI charges a renewal fee for each registration, plus an extra fee for renewal in the grace period. INPI fees are set in UMAPI units whose peso value is updated monthly, so we confirm the amount when you instruct us.
Professional Fees
Cover the work of Brealant and our local agent: checking the register, preparing and filing the renewal, and reporting the result. We quote them in advance.

Renewing before expiry avoids the grace-period fee and is far cheaper than re-filing a lapsed mark.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does an Argentine trademark registration last?

10 years from the date of grant. It can be renewed for further 10-year periods without limit, each counted from the expiry of the previous term.

When can I renew my trademark in Argentina?

From 6 months before the expiry date. INPI also accepts renewals for up to 6 months after expiry, with an additional grace-period fee.

Do I need to have used the mark to renew it?

Yes. The mark must have been used in Argentina in the 5 years before expiry, for goods or services or as part of the name of a business activity, and the owner declares this under oath with the renewal.

What happens if I miss the renewal deadline?

You can still renew within 6 months after expiry by paying the extra fee. Rights third parties acquired between expiry and your late filing are preserved. After the grace period, the registration expires and the mark must be filed again as a new application.

Does the mid-term declaration of use affect renewal?

Yes. For marks granted from 12 January 2013, INPI does not process a renewal until the mid-term declaration of use, due between the 5th and 6th anniversary of grant, has been filed and any late fee paid.

How much does it cost to renew a trademark in Argentina?

INPI charges a fee per registration, plus a surcharge in the grace period. Fees are set in UMAPI units updated monthly, so we confirm the current amount before you commit.

Can I change the mark or the goods when renewing?

You can renew for fewer goods or services than were originally covered, but you cannot add new ones or change the mark itself.

My mark is registered in several classes. How many renewals do I need?

One for each registration. Argentina issues one registration per Nice class, so each class is renewed separately.

Can Brealant renew a mark it did not originally file?

Yes. We can take over renewals of existing Argentine registrations, working with our registered local agent, once we have checked the register and the owner's details.

Do I need a local representative to renew?

Foreign owners normally act through a registered local agent in Argentina. Brealant arranges this as part of the renewal.
