Filing an Industrial Design Application in Mexico
Protecting the visual appearance of your product in Mexico is possible through an industrial design application filed with the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property (IMPI). Whether you're a local innovator or a foreign company entering the Mexican market, filing ensures exclusive rights over your product's unique design.
What is an Industrial Design Application in Mexico?
An industrial design application protects the aesthetic elements of a product—its shape, pattern, or decoration—without covering its technical function. In Mexico, the application can cover industrial drawings (2D) and industrial models (3D). Once registered, it grants the holder the exclusive right to use the design and prevent unauthorized copies.
Why File an Industrial Design Application in Mexico?
Mexico is one of Latin America’s largest consumer markets, and design often plays a crucial role in consumer choice. Filing an application helps secure your market position, prevent infringement, and enable licensing or commercial expansion. Foreign applicants can also benefit from Mexico’s participation in international agreements like the Hague System.
Key Steps to File an Industrial Design Application in Mexico
- Prepare documentation – Includes representations of the design, description, and applicant details.
- File with IMPI – Applications can be submitted online or in person.
