The Dominican PTO continues to streamline prosecution processes for trademark holders

What is new? As of 01 July 2024, the Dominican PTO made available the following services in the online platform:

-Electronic trademark application for non-traditional marks (collective, appellation of origin, geographical indications, position trademarks, trade dress, hologram, and multimedia);
-Limitation of goods and services from existing registrations; and
-Recordals of merger, assignment, and change of name.

This means that the certificates of these services will also be issued in electronic format, eliminating once and for all paper certificates in the trademark prosecution proceedings before the Dominican PTO.

Hats off to the Distinctive Signs Department of the Dominican PTO for their outstanding work, which translates into smoother and more cost-efficient processes in favor of trademark owners!
