Good to know

  • Under Decision 486, a mark can be cancelled for non-use if it has not been used without justification in at least one Andean Community member country during the three consecutive years before the cancellation action.
  • Renewal is requested within the six months before expiry, with a six-month grace period after expiry.
  • The government procedures portal lists trademark registration as open to Ecuadorian and foreign natural and legal persons, filed online with a payment receipt and a digital label of the mark.
International

Madrid Protocol and regional systems

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

Andean Community (Decision 486)
Ecuador 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 may oppose in Ecuador if it also applies for the mark there.
