Before you commit to a trademark application in Peru, a clearance search tells you whether your brand name, logo, or slogan is genuinely free to register. Our team at Brealant searches INDECOPI's records so you can move forward with confidence.
What a Trademark Search Involves
A trademark search checks INDECOPI's Trademark Registry, along with company name and commercial name records, for marks identical or confusingly similar to yours in the same or related Nice classes.
Purpose and Function of a Trademark Search
Under Decision 486 of the Andean Community, implemented in Peru through Legislative Decree 1075, INDECOPI will refuse an application that conflicts with an earlier mark or well-known sign. A search surfaces these conflicts before you file, protecting your budget and timeline.
Protecting Your Filing Strategy
A thorough search helps Brealant recommend the strongest way to file — including classes, elements, and wording — giving your mark the best chance of registering cleanly through INDECOPI's Dirección de Signos Distintivos.

In Peru, a trademark search reviews INDECOPI's Trademark Registry and related sources to identify conflicting marks before you file. Because INDECOPI examines every new application against the existing register and against well-known marks recognised under Decision 486, understanding what's already registered is the clearest way to gauge your chances of a smooth registration.
A trademark search protects more than your application fee — it protects the time, marketing spend, and brand equity you're about to invest in a name. Brealant's search process gives you the evidence to file, or rethink your branding, with real confidence rather than guesswork.
A search significantly reduces risk, but it has real limits worth understanding before you file
No Absolute Guarantee
No search, however thorough, can guarantee INDECOPI won't raise an objection during examination.
Unregistered Rights
Rights built through genuine prior use, or well-known marks not yet locally registered, can be harder to identify with certainty.
Pending Applications
Very recently filed applications may not yet be visible on the public register at the time of search.
Descriptiveness & Distinctiveness
A search checks for conflicts, not whether INDECOPI will consider your mark descriptive or non-distinctive under Decision 486.
Foreign Rights
A Peruvian search does not clear your mark for use or registration in other Andean or non-Andean countries.
Brealant explains these limits clearly in every search report, so you know exactly what comfort the search gives you.
A thorough Peruvian trademark search reviews multiple layers of the register to protect your filing decision. Our search covers
Word Marks
Identical and phonetically or visually similar brand names and taglines on INDECOPI's Trademark Registry.
Logos & Combined Marks
Graphical and mixed marks that could be considered confusingly similar in overall impression under Andean examination practice.
Class Overlap
Marks registered in the same or related Nice classification classes as your goods or services.
Commercial & Company Names
Registered commercial and company names that could indicate a conflicting prior user under Decision 486.
Partnering with Brealant means every layer of risk is checked before you commit to filing with INDECOPI.
A search moves considerably faster than a full application. It typically involves

Reporting
You receive the finished clearance report and filing recommendation.
Most Peruvian trademark searches are completed within 2 to 5 business days of instruction, depending on complexity.
Search costs are modest compared to the cost of a rejected or opposed application

Brealant offers a free preliminary check of the INDECOPI register to flag obvious conflicts.
A detailed written clearance report, covering commercial name and well-known mark considerations, is offered as a fixed professional fee.
These costs are a small, worthwhile investment set against the far higher cost of a rejected or opposed application.
Once your search is complete, Brealant can move straight into preparing and filing your application with INDECOPI, so the momentum from a clear result isn't lost. If your search reveals risk, our team will also advise on alternative branding or filing strategies to keep your project moving.

No search can guarantee registration, since INDECOPI may raise other objections such as descriptiveness, but a clearance search removes the most common cause of rejection: conflicting prior marks.
No, INDECOPI does not require a search before filing, but skipping this step significantly increases the risk of rejection or a later opposition.
Yes. Brealant searches word marks, logos, and combined marks, and advises on the best filing strategy for each element of your brand.
We search the current, live INDECOPI register, which includes registered marks and pending applications, for an accurate real-time picture of what's protectable.
Brealant offers a free preliminary register check, with a fixed fee for the full clearance report — we quote this before you commit.
Anyone can — you don't need to be a Peruvian resident or company. Foreign applicants routinely commission a search through Brealant before deciding whether to file.
Our standard search focuses on INDECOPI's trademark register; checking the Public Registry for conflicting trade or company names is available as an add-on when it's relevant to your sector.
We discuss options such as adjusting the mark, narrowing the goods or services, negotiating a coexistence agreement, or targeting a different class.
A mark registered in another Decisión 486 country (Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador) has no automatic effect in Peru, but we flag it since it can support an Andean Community opposition or priority claim strategy.
Yes. We typically search the classes you intend to file in plus closely related classes where confusion is likely, and we can broaden the scope on request.
