Important changes in Trademark Law


On December 11, 2025, the National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI) published Resolution 583/2025. It introduces—once again—substantial modifications to the trademark registration procedure in Argentina, with the stated intention of streamlining the process, shortening timelines, and aligning our system with international standards.

These are the main changes

With immediate effect, the scope of the registrability examination is changed.

• The examination is limited to absolute grounds: lack of distinctiveness, public policy issues, and identical trademarks covering overlapping goods and services.
Will NOT be examined.
• The examination will no longer consider relative grounds, such as similar trademarks, signs likely to cause confusion, names or pseudonyms of individuals, and activity designations used to protect products (Section 3, subsections b), d), h), and i)).
• It will be the responsibility of the interested parties to file the corresponding opposition for INPI to take these grounds into account.


Effective March 1, 2026, a new examination procedure is introduced :

• The formalities and registrability examination will be carried out immediately after filing and before publication.
• Publication for one day in the Trademark Gazette.
• After 30 calendar days, applications without oppositions will be granted.
