Trademark Registration in Costa Rica

Costa Rica is not a member of the Madrid Protocol. Applications can be filed through a local attorney. Registration is completed in approximately 6 months. The power of attorney must be notarized and, in addition, legalized by the consulate or apostilled. A representation of the trademark must be submitted, preferably electronically, or as 25 copies measuring 8 x 8 cm. If a priority document is used, it must be submitted within 90 days of the filing date.
