Accession to TLT


The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) has informed that the Government of the Republic of Colombia last week deposited its instrument of accession to the Trademark Law Treaty (TLT). The treaty enters into force for Colombia on April 13, 2012.

The aim of the TLT is to streamline national and regional trademark registration procedures. This is achieved through the simplification and harmonization of those procedures, thus making trademark applications and the administration of trademark registrations in multiple jurisdictions less complex and more predictable.

Colombia's accession to the TLT will bring the number of active participants in the TLT to around 50. The region's participation in the TLT is growing: Colombia joins Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Peru.
