We're expanding BrandCat's trademark coverage again.
BrandCat now supports trademark monitoring from Mexico (IMPI – Instituto Mexicano de la Propiedad Industrial).
Trademark data from Mexico is now monitored continuously and matched against your protected keywords.
Why Mexico Matters
Mexico is one of the most active trademark jurisdictions in Latin America and a key market for:
- international expansion
- manufacturing and distribution
- cross-border trade with the United States
According to WIPO data, Mexico accounts for roughly 1.7% of global trademark filing activity each year (around 170,000+ class filings annually)[source]
However, there is an important nuance.
Trademark statistics published by WIPO are measured in class counts, not raw applications.[source]
In practice, this means:
- jurisdictions that allow multiple Nice classes per application
- appear larger in global statistics
Mexico, similar to Brazil, contributes to this effect.
When adjusted to reflect comparable filing structures across jurisdictions, Mexico’s share is closer to ~1.1% of global trademark activity.
This makes Mexico:
- a mid-sized but highly relevant jurisdiction
- especially important for brands operating in the Americas
Trademark activity in Mexico often reflects:
- early-stage brand launches in LATAM
- local copycats targeting regional markets
- defensive filings by international companies
For many brands, Mexico is not the first jurisdiction they monitor.
But it is often one of the first places where conflicts appear.
Example: One Mark, Multiple Classes, Multiple Applications
