No, Ecuadorian legislation has no provisions for multi-class registrations. To register a trademark in several international classes, a registration application must be presented for each class.

In Ecuador, the Nice Classification applies (10th Edition)

We recommend performing a search for previous records before beginning the trademark, commercial name or commercial slogan registration process to minimize the risk of oppositions. The searches must be done with the Ecuadorian Institute of Intellectual Property, and once the search report is issued, we prepare a legal report with recommendations.

The trademark, commercial name or commercial slogan registration procedure takes approximately six months from the presentation of the registration application until obtaining the corresponding resolution; however, when there are oppositions, this time may increase by approximately four more months.

• Information on the applicant (name, nationality, address, telephone)
• List of products or services which you seek to protect
• Power of attorney with an apostille. This document may be presented up to two months after the date of presentation of the registration application.
• In cases where the trademark has an accompanying graphic design, we need it in JPG format.
• For commercial slogans, we need the data for the trademark which it is intended to accompany.

Trademarks, commercial names or commercial slogans have a ten-year term of validity, starting from that date of issuance of the resolution granting the corresponding registry. This term may be renewed.
