Trademark registration
Registering your trademark is the first step to protect it against piracy, give it commercial value, and turn it into an asset for your company.
The registered trademark gives you exclusive use for it in the whole Chilean territotory.
Why is a trademark registration important?
Consumers who are satisfied with a product or service tend to buy it again and recommend it. In order to do so, they need to be able to remember and distinguish it from others that are similar.
What's the trademark registration for?
Registering your trademark gives it value, protecting it, so nobody else can call their product or service with a name that's identical or similar to yours, preventing brand piracy, or any form of immitation that diverts consumers from you.
