Costa Rica Trademark Nullity
At AristaLegal, our intellectual property experts comprehensively manage cancellation actions for trademarks that have not been used.
The trademark protection system in Costa Rica allows for the cancellation of a trademark registration if the owner does not use it for a period of five years.
This protects the rights of entrepreneurs and business owners, allowing them to request the registration of trademarks that remain inactive and preventing third parties from holding registrations without actual use.
Our team analyzes each case, structuring the cancellation request in accordance with current regulations to maximize the chances of success in the process.
Trademark Nullity Action
Additionally, at AristaLegal, we also advise and represent our clients in nullity actions for trademarks registered in violation of legal prohibitions.
If a trademark has been registered without meeting the distinctiveness or registrability criteria required by the Intellectual Property Law, our specialists can file a nullity action before the Intellectual Property Registry to request its cancellation or invalidation.
This process includes a detailed analysis of the trademark elements and their compliance with regulations. If irregularities are confirmed, we proceed to request nullity to safeguard our clients’ commercial interests.
