Essential Guide to Trademarks in Peru
Protecting Your Brand with Brealant's Expertise

Legal Definition of Trademark Renewal
Renewal, under Decision 486, is the request and payment of the prescribed fee to INDECOPI to extend a registration for a further 10-year term.
Purpose and Function of Renewal
Like most Andean jurisdictions, Peru does not require proof of continued use to renew — a timely renewal request and fee payment keeps the registration in force.
Protecting Your Trademark
A missed renewal causes the registration to lapse, potentially allowing someone else to register the same or a similar mark, so ongoing tracking matters.

Clear, Simple Steps to Renew Your Trademark
In Peru, renewal falls due on the 10-year anniversary of the registration date. INDECOPI accepts renewal requests up to 6 months before expiry and offers a 6-month grace period after expiry, with a surcharge, before the registration lapses.
Safeguarding Your Trademark in Peru — With Brealant by Your Side
A lapsed trademark loses its registration date and can potentially be re-registered by someone else, so missing a renewal can mean losing your brand protection entirely. Brealant's renewal tracking removes that risk from your calendar.
Limitations
What Renewal Cannot Do
Renewal keeps a registration alive, but it has boundaries
No Substantive Changes
Renewal cannot be used to change the mark itself, or add new goods or services.
Grace Period Only
The 6-month grace period is the outer limit — after that, the registration lapses and cannot simply be reinstated.
Doesn't Fix Non-Use
Renewal doesn't protect against a separate non-use cancellation action if the mark hasn't genuinely been used.
Doesn't Expand Protection
Renewal maintains existing rights; it doesn't broaden the scope of protection beyond what was originally registered.
Ownership Must Be Current
Renewal doesn't update ownership records — an assignment must be separately recorded if the owner has changed.
Brealant reviews your registration details as part of every renewal to flag any of these issues early.
What a Trademark Renewal Protects
Renewal keeps the full benefit of your original registration in place, including
Exclusive Nationwide Rights
Your continued exclusive right to use the mark across Peru for the registered goods/services.
Your Filing Date
The priority and seniority attached to your original registration date.
Enforcement Standing
Your ability to take infringement or opposition action based on a live registration.
Brand Value
The accumulated goodwill and recognition built up under a continuously registered mark.
Renewal is a simple administrative step that preserves everything your original registration achieved.
