Cracked shield, the risk of doing business in Mexico without trademark protection

Is Your Brand at Risk in Mexico?

Running a business in Mexico without trademark protection is risky. Competitors can copy your brand name or logo, which can confuse customers and harm your business. Without IMPI (Instituto Mexicano de la Propiedad Industrial) registration, you can’t legally stop infringers. You might face expensive legal battles. Or worse, you might have to rebrand your entire business.

Many business owners discover too late that someone else has already registered their trademark. Don’t let this happen to you.

What Registering a Trademark in Mexico Costs, 2026

IMPI’s fees are set by law and published in the Diario Oficial de la Federacion. They are identical for a Mexican company and a foreign one, and they are charged in Mexican pesos wherever your business is based.

Filing online carries an automatic 10% discount. Amounts come from the IMPI tariff published in the DOF on 15 March 2024. USD is approximate, converted at the Banxico FIX rate of 18.7962 MXN per USD published on 30 October 2026. The peso amount is what you actually pay.

If you sell products and also provide services, you need more than one Nice class. Each class is a separate application with its own fee and its own examination. Three classes filed online is $8,441.31 MXN, about US$449, in IMPI fees alone. A company that files in one class to keep the cost down usually finds the gap later, when a competitor registers the class it skipped.

Our fees are quoted per case. Send us the mark and the products or services it covers and you will get a fixed number, not a range.
