Ecuador trademark search
How to search and register a trademark in Ecuador, from official sources. Signa has no records covering Ecuador yet.
Search the SENADI register
How SENADI records can be consulted, as the office states it.
SENADI offers a search report on distinctive signs (Informe de Búsqueda), requested through its online application system and paid by fee; the applicant receives the result of the search. SENADI's own website (derechosintelectuales.gob.ec) refused connections on 2026-11-12, so its online tools could not be inspected.

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.
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.
