Colombia trade mark registration keeps getting speedier

At the end of September Natalia Franco Onofre posted the good news on IP Tango that trade mark registration in Colombia was now taking place more swiftly, with registration in six months becoming a reality. It now seems that, following implementation by the Colombia Trade Mark Office of Administrative Resolution 48348, the average time for registration has dropped to four months. This is clearly good news for trade mark applicants.
