The trademark registration process in Osorno follows the same national procedure as other Chilean regions, with applications processed through INAPI (National Institute of Industrial Property). The process includes:

1. Filing the application with INAPI (can be done with assistance from a trademark lawyer in Osorno)
2. Formal examination by INAPI
3. Publication in the Official Gazette
4. 30-day opposition period
5. Substantive examination
6. Registration (if approved)

While the process is standardized nationwide, working with an Osorno-based attorney provides local support throughout these steps.

Businesses can find intellectual property legal assistance in the Los Lagos Region through:
