Keep Your Mexico Trademark Records Updated

Ensure your rights remain valid and enforceable in Mexico with accurate IMPI records.

How long does it take to process a change with IMPI?
Change applications typically take 2-4 months for IMPI to process and update the official records.
Is there a difference between a Change of Name and an Assignment in Mexico?
Yes. A Change of Name occurs when the legal entity remains the same but the name changes. An Assignment is a transfer of ownership to a different legal entity and has different requirements.
Do I need to update my trademark certificate after a change?
IMPI does not automatically issue new certificates for changes. The electronic record is updated, which serves as the official record. You can request a certified copy reflecting the changes.
What are the consequences of not updating my information with IMPI?
Failure to update can result in missed official communications, inability to enforce your rights, and complications with future transactions or renewals.
