Position Trademarks – Uruguay joins to its recognition
From March 2024, “Position trademarks” may be filed in Uruguay, among other non-traditional signs.2
This development was introduced by Resolution No. 18/2023, issued on December 11, 2023 by the National Institute of Industrial Property of Uruguay.
The Resolution recognizes and regulates new types of non-traditional trademarks, including position trademarks, which are defined as those characterized by the particular place they take up on the product.
