Your strategic partner for the protection of your intellectual property rights in Paraguay.

Paraguay is not a member of the Madrid Protocol or the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT). As a general rule, protecting foreign trademarks and patents therefore requires filing national applications before the National Directorate of Intellectual Property (DINAPI), through a local agent.
