Search, filing before DIGERPI (MICI), opposition monitoring and certificate — with ten-year renewable protection under the international Nice classification. Full English service for international brand owners.
Panama trademark registration runs through DIGERPI, the intellectual property directorate of the Ministry of Commerce. The process is straightforward when the search, the classes and the filing are done right — and expensive to fix when they are not.
We manage registrations and portfolios for local and international owners: search, filing, publication and opposition window, certificate and renewals — plus enforcement when someone trades on your brand.

Applications are filed before DIGERPI, the intellectual property office within the Ministry of Commerce (MICI): search, application by class, publication with an opposition window, examination and certificate. We handle the full process and the renewals that follow.
Registration protects the mark for ten years and is renewable indefinitely for equal periods. We calendar renewals for every portfolio we manage.
Yes — goods and services are classified under the international Nice system, and each class requires its own coverage. Choosing the right classes is where most do-it-yourself filings go wrong.
Panama is part of the international trademark framework and foreign applicants file routinely through local counsel. We act as your Panama attorneys of record: filing, monitoring oppositions and maintaining the registration.
Official fees depend on the number of classes, and attorney fees on the scope (search, oppositions, portfolio size). We quote the complete cost in writing before filing — no surprises mid-process.
Oppositions are argued before DIGERPI and infringement is enforced through the competent courts and authorities. As litigators, we handle both — registration is only as valuable as your ability to defend it.
