Understanding Intellectual Property

Intellectual Property (IP) in Chile refers to creations of the mind protected by law, giving creators exclusive rights over their use. These original ideas include inventions, designs, brands, artistic works, and other unique expressions.

IP protection allows you to benefit from your work without fearing unauthorized use. Several laws and regulations govern Chile's IP system, each designed to protect different forms of IP so that you can secure your innovative and creative assets.

  • Trademark TM symbol icon

    Trademarks (™)

    A trademark sets your goods or services apart from others. It can be a word, logo, sound, shape, or a combination of these elements. Trademark protection helps prevent others from using a similar mark that could confuse customers.

    Trademarks are registered with IP Chile and offer legal protection for up to 10 years, with the possibility of renewal. To qualify for registration, the trademark must be distinctive and non-descriptive and not conflict with existing marks.

  • Product packaging icon

    Patents (P)

    A patent lets you exclusively use, sell, or license your invention in Chile for up to 20 years. To qualify for a patent, you must have a new, unique, and useful invention.

    The law can grant patents for various inventions, from mechanical devices to new chemical compounds and software. The patent process includes an in-depth examination to ensure the invention meets these criteria, which a patent agent in Chile could help with.

  • Design rights icon with colour palette

    Design Rights (D)

    Design rights protect your product's visual appearance, shape, pattern, and ornamentation. To be eligible for design registration in Chile, a design must be new and distinctive.

    This IP shield lasts up to 10 years, preventing others from using or selling products with identical or substantially similar designs.

  • Plant variety protection icon with seedling

    Plant Breeder's Rights (PBR)
