Is copyright what you need to protect in Paraguay?
Copyright protects the work, but it does not cover the brand under which you sell it, the appearance of a product or a technical invention. Each right is filed separately with DINAPI, with fees expressed in minimum daily wages.
Trademark
Protects the name, logo or sign that identifies your business and sets it apart from competitors. In Paraguay it is registered with DINAPI, under Law No. 1294/98.
Example: your company name or your product logo.
Term: 10 years, renewable for equal periods.
Register a trademark in ParaguayIndustrial design
Protects the external appearance of a product: its lines, colours or shape. In Paraguay it is registered as an “industrial drawing or model”, under Law No. 868/81.
Example: the silhouette of a bottle or the design of a package.
Term: 5 years, renewable for two equal periods — 15 years maximum.
Register an industrial design in ParaguayPatent of invention
Protects an invention with novelty and industrial application. The application first goes through an 18-month secrecy period.
Example: a locking system or a manufacturing method.
Term: 20 years from filing, non-renewable, with annuities from the third year.
Register a patent in ParaguayIs your trademark already registered in Paraguay? Registration lasts 10 years and renewal is a separate procedure, costing 2 minimum daily wages. Paraguay allows it to be requested up to 6 months after expiry, but that grace period carries its own surcharge.
