IP and Trademark | Intellectual Property Services in Belize

A trademark is a sign which is capable of distinguishing the goods or services of one undertaking from those of other undertakings and which is also capable of being represented graphically. They may consist of words, designs, letters, numerals or the shapes of goods.

A trademark provides protection to the owner of the mark by ensuring the exclusive right to use it to identify goods/services, or to authorize another to use it in return for payment. Trademark protection is enforced by the Supreme Court of Belize. Trademark protection promotes enterprise by hindering the efforts of unfair competitors, such as counterfeiters, who use similar distinctive signs to market inferior or different products or services.
