A plain guide to registering a trademark in Honduras, written by the intellectual property attorneys at Casco & Casco in Tegucigalpa. We handle each step with DIGEPIH, the Honduran intellectual property authority.
The five steps
Every trademark application moves through five stages.
Preliminary search: we check Honduras, and internationally if you need it, for marks that could conflict with yours.
Filing the application: we prepare the application and file it with DIGEPIH.
Publication: the application is published so that third parties can see it.
Opposition handling: if someone opposes, we represent you, including appeals and judicial litigation when needed.
Final registration with DIGEPIH: once the process is complete, the mark is registered.
How long it takes
Registration typically takes 12–18 months, depending on opposition proceedings.
