How SENAPI records can be consulted, as the office states it.

SENAPI's public SIPI system offers only status tracking of a file by procedure type, number and year (Seguimiento de trámites de signos); no public search by mark name was found on 2026-11-12. A search of SENAPI's distinctive-signs database for identical or similar signs is requested on form PI-112 through SIPI and paid by fee (Bs. 150 for foreign and Bs. 75 for national applicants); SENAPI states its results are for reference only.

Good to know

SENAPI's fee table charges foreign persons and companies twice the national fee for filing, grant, renewal and opposition (for example Bs. 500 for a foreign opponent against Bs. 250 for a national one).
Renewal must be requested in the six months before the registration expires, with a six-month grace period after expiry.
A cancellation action for non-use cannot be started until three years have passed from notification of the grant of the registration.

International

Madrid Protocol and regional systems

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

Andean Community (Decision 486): Bolivia applies the Andean Community's common industrial property regime, Decision 486; there is no regional registration, but the owner of an identical or similar mark registered in any Andean Community member country can file an opposition in Bolivia.
