The Mexican Institute of Industrial Property (IMPI) manages the registration of trademarks, which include signs such as words, logos, or sounds that distinguish products and services. This process provides exclusive rights, legal defense, and allows brands to be treated as business assets.

Recent applications of these protections include the University of Colima receiving a trademark for BIOASSISTECH, a technological initiative for modeling blood flow in aneurysms. Additionally, regional artisanal products such as Paracho guitars, mezcal, and Cotija cheese have been supported through collective marks and geographical indications to combat piracy and increase international market value.
