Argentina Trademark Search and Registration (INPI)

Search

Search the INPI register

Búsqueda de marcas (INPI database, search by identical characters) is National Institute of Industrial Property's own search tool.

Tool: Búsqueda de marcas (INPI database, search by identical characters)
Search by: denomination (identical characters)
Free: Yes
Limits: The free module only finds identical characters (phonetic searches are a paid INPI service); the tool did not load from here (connection timed out), so this describes INPI's official help only.

From INPI's page 'Averiguá si tu marca está registrada', click 'Acceder a la base de datos del INPI'.
Fill in the DENOMINACIÓN field with the mark.
Tick SOLO VIGENTES to see only marks in force.
If the message 'No hay resultados que correspondan con su criterio de búsqueda' appears, search for variants as well; INPI advises a paid phonetic prior-rights search for certainty.

Register

What INPI requires, as the official sources below state it.

How to file: National application at INPI (online through the Portal de Trámites)
Classification: Nice Classification
Application fee: 100 UMAPI for a new mark application in one class with up to 20 products or services (Resolución INPI 75/2026; the UMAPI is updated monthly by the consumer price index and its current peso value is published on INPI's Portal de Trámites)
Fees as of: 2026-04-01 (ARS)
Opposition: 30 calendar days from publication of the application in the Boletín de Marcas (pre-registration)
Term: 10 years from the registration date, renewable for 10 years at a time
Non-use: Open to cancellation after 5 years without use

Applicants domiciled abroad must establish a legal domicile in Argentina and pay through national payment platforms; INPI notes that this may require hiring a local agent.
After the fifth year from grant and before the sixth year ends, the owner must file a sworn declaration of use (mid-term declaration); renewal requires a further declaration that the mark was used in the five years before expiry (articles 5, 20 and 26 of Law 22.362).
If an application receives an opposition, INPI notifies the applicant, who has three months to reach an agreement with the opponent before the administrative opposition procedure starts.

International

Argentina is not a member of the Madrid Protocol, so an international registration through WIPO cannot designate it.
