Registration of trademarks in Bolivia

Bolivia prohibits registration of combined trademarks, which simultaneously include elements of words and images. According to the rules of procedure, it is possible to register trademark only in one configuration: either as an image, or as a word. If the applicant tends to register trademark in Bolivia as word with picture, then these two elements should be registered separately.

  6. Submission of the application.

It is required to provide the package of documents in Spanish. The procedure of processing the application takes up to 12 months.

Bolivia is not a party to the Hague Convention, so it does not require apostille on the documents provided, but notarization may be required.

According to the regulations of the country, if the registered brand is not used within 3 years, the management bodies are considering the question of canceling the operation of its registration.

The registration certificate is valid for 10 years.
