A short time ago, we published an article in our blog about the new challenge companies have today to protect their non-traditional trademarks. (The link can be found here: New challenge companies how protect non-traditional trademarks) In this article, we mentioned that the greatest challenge to gain protection was to comply with the ability to distinguish one from another. This requirement was mandated in Decision #486 of 2000 by the Comunidad Andina. In that regard, the Superintendence of Commerce and Industry, in Resolution #3718 from February 2, 2016, established guidelines for applications to register non-traditional trademarks. This Resolution will help businessmen to better understand the requirements when they apply to register these trademarks. What follows is a brief description and analysis about each of the non-traditional trademarks mentioned in the Resolution: -Three-Dimensional Trademarks In relation to this kind of trademark, the Superintendence of Commerce and Industry clarified that the graphic representation should have ample details, and they should be accompanied by a written description. In addition, the law authorizes that the aforementioned requirement could also be fulfilled by submitting the registration application with six different angles showing the trademark. If these approvals are not considered detailed enough, the Resolution adds the possibility that the reviewer can request a physical sample of the trademark. As an example of a three-dimensional trademark without written elements, we can look at the example of the well-known Evian bottle.
