CHAPTER II BIS Well-Known and Famous Marks

Article 98 bis. For the purposes of its assessment or declaration by the Institute, a mark shall be considered well known in Mexico when a given sector of the public or of the country’s business circles is aware of the mark as a result of the business activities conducted in Mexico or abroad by a person who makes use of the mark in connection with his goods or services, or as a result of the promotion or advertising thereof.

For the purposes of its assessment or declaration by the Institute, a mark shall be considered famous in Mexico where the majority of public consumers are aware of this mark.

All forms of proof permitted by this Law may be used for the purpose of demonstrating that the mark is well known or famous.

Article 98 bis-1. The declaration or any updates issued shall constitute an administrative act by means of which the Institute declares, based on the evidence provided, that the conditions by virtue of which a mark is well known or famous obtain at the time the act is issued.

The impediments provided for in Article 90, subparagraphs XV and XV bis, for the protection of well-known or famous marks, shall apply independently of whether those marks are registered or declared.

However, in order for the owner of a mark to obtain a declaration, the mark shall be registered in Mexico to protect the goods or services in which the notoriety or fame of the mark originated.

Article 98 bis-2. For the purpose of obtaining the declaration to the effect that a mark is well known, the applicant shall provide, inter alia, the following information:

I. The sector of the public comprising real or potential consumers who identify the mark with the goods or services which it protects, based on a market survey or study or any other method permitted by law;

II. Other sectors of the public excluding real or potential consumers that identify the mark with the goods or services which it protects, based on a market survey or study or any other method permitted by law;

III. The commercial circles comprising tradesmen, industrialists or service providers connected with the type of goods or services, who identify the mark with the goods or services protected by the mark, based on a market survey or study or any other method permitted by law;

IV. The date of first use of the mark in Mexico and, where applicable, abroad;

V. The period of continued use of the mark in Mexico and, where applicable, abroad;

VI. The marketing channels in Mexico and, where applicable, abroad;

IX. The investment made during the previous three years in advertising and promoting the mark in Mexico and, where applicable, abroad;

X. The actual geographical area of influence of the mark;

XI. The sales volume of the goods or the revenue received from the provisions of the services protected by the mark, during the previous three years;

XII. The economic value represented by the mark in the shareholders’ equity of the company owning the mark, or in accordance with a valuation of the company;

XIV. The franchises and licenses that have been granted with respect to the mark; and

XV. The percentage of the share of the mark in the relevant market sector or segment.
