Good to know

  • An applicant or owner who neither resides nor has a permanent business in Colombia must appoint a representative or attorney to act before SIC; an attorney must be a lawyer registered to practise in Colombia. The power of attorney can be a private document and needs no legalisation or apostille.
  • Under Decision 486, renewal is requested within the six months before expiry, with a six-month grace period after expiry.
  • SIC does not accept Nice class headings as a description of goods or services unless the heading names the actual product or service; it accepts terms from WIPO's Madrid Goods and Services Manager and the Pacific Alliance harmonised list.
International

Madrid Protocol and regional systems

Colombia is a member of the Madrid Protocol since 2012-08-29, so an international registration filed through WIPO can designate it.

Andean Community (Decision 486)
Colombia is a member of the Andean Community, whose Decision 486 sets common trademark rules; there is no regional registration, but the owner of an identical or similar mark in another member country, or the first applicant for it there, may oppose in Colombia on showing a real interest in the Colombian market.
