Argentina speeds up trademark registration with mandatory electronic notifications
By Estudio Chaloupka
Starting March 1, 2026, the National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI) implemented mandatory electronic notifications for trademark procedures, eliminating the previous 30-day waiting period and enabling a faster, simpler, and fully digital process.
The measure, established by INPI Resolution No. 63/2026, introduces a system of mandatory electronic notifications for proceedings before the National Directorate of Trademarks, with the aim of simplifying and accelerating procedures.
Under the new rule, official communications, transfers, and intermediate procedural acts will be notified through the user’s electronic portal account, while final decisions will continue to be published in the Trademark Bulletin. Deadlines will begin to run from the day following the corresponding notification.
Users must also update or establish their electronic legal address through the INPI’s online procedures portal, a step that will have the status of a sworn declaration.
With this change, the INPI continues advancing the modernization of Argentina's trademark system, in an attempt to eliminate stages considered to cause delays without adding value to the procedure.
