It will therefore remain the responsibility of the owners of earlier trademarks to check new trademark applications and take action to prevent their registration. Furthermore, as of 1 March 2026, the publication of new applications will last only one day and the period for filing oppositions will be only 30 days from the date of publication.  ## ****How to protect yourself** ?** These changes make it crucial to systematically monitor the Trademark Register, allowing owners to take timely action. To this end, we recommend:  1.  **Activate a [surveillance service](https://www.jacobacci.com/en/trademarks/surveillance-of-the-publication-of-similar-third-party-brands-worldwide) immediately**: this is the only way to intercept conflicting trademark applications before they are registered.  2.  **Act promptly**: after 30 days, the only option is to take legal action to cancel identical or similar third-party trademarks, which is a longer and more expensive process.  > > > [Contact us](https://www.jacobacci.com/en/contacts) for a check and assessment of your trademark protection in Argentina and to activate the surveillance service.  [![Lisa Pozzebon](https://www.jacobacci.com/hubfs/Professionisti/Immagini%20professionisti/POZZEBON_LISA_PD_J%26P_1500_px79.jpg)](https://www.jacobacci.com/en/professionals/lisa-pozzebon) #### [Lisa Pozzebon](https://www.jacobacci.com/en/professionals/lisa-pozzebon) [ Contact me ](https://www.jacobacci.com/en/professionals/lisa-pozzebon) ** #### Categories - [An IP Revolution](https://www.jacobacci.com/en/news/tag/an-ip-revolution) - [Arte e Progetto](https://www.jacobacci.com/en/news/tag/arte-e-progetto) - [Food & Wine](https://www.jacobacci.com/en/news/tag/food-wine) - [Great Place To Work](https://www.jacobacci.com/en/news/tag/great-place-to-work) - [Jcases](https://www.jacobacci.com/en/news/tag/jcases) - [Jcuriosity](https://www.jacobacci.com/en/news/tag/jcuriosity) - [Jnews](https://www.jacobacci.com/en/news/tag/jnews) - [Jpeople](https://www.jacobacci.com/en/news/tag/jpeople) - [Patents](https://www.jacobacci.com/en/news/tag/patents) - [Start-up](https://www.jacobacci.com/en/news/tag/start-up) - [Trademarks](https://www.jacobacci.com/en/news/tag/trademarks) #### Popular articles [![The slogan ](https://www.jacobacci.com/hubfs/News%20e%20curiosit%C3%A0%20IP/J-Cases-sample-v3.jpg)](https://www.jacobacci.com/en/news/it-is-like-milk-but-for-humans) [The slogan "it's like milk but for humans" has distinctive character](https://www.jacobacci.com/en/news/it-is-like-milk-but-for-humans) 19 July 2021 [![Artificial Intelligence and Patents: a guide to the patentability of AI under European Law](https://www.jacobacci.com/hubfs/News%20e%20curiosit%C3%A0%20IP/J-News-sample-v3.jpg)](https://www.jacobacci.com/en/news/artificial-intelligence-and-patents-a-guide-to-the-patentability-of-ai) [Artificial Intelligence and Patents: a guide to the patentability of AI under European Law](https://www.jacobacci.com/en/news/artificial-intelligence-and-patents-a-guide-to-the-patentability-of-ai) 10 April 2025 [![The Swiss Federal Court declares the nullity of the three-dimensional trademark relating to Nespresso capsules](https://www.jacobacci.com/hubfs/News%20e%20curiosit%C3%A0%20IP/J-Cases-sample-v3.jpg)](https://www.jacobacci.com/en/news/the-swiss-federal-court-declares-the-nullity-of-the-three-dimensional-trademark-relating-to-nespresso-capsules) [The Swiss Federal Court declares the nullity of the three-dimensional trademark relating to Nespresso capsules](https://www.jacobacci.com/en/news/the-swiss-federal-court-declares-the-nullity-of-the-three-dimensional-trademark-relating-to-nespresso-capsules) 17 November 2021 [![Can a conversational agent or chatbot, such as ChatGPT, draft a patent?](https://www.jacobacci.com/hubfs/News%20e%20curiosit%C3%A0%20IP/J-News-sample-v3.jpg)](https://www.jacobacci.com/en/news/can-a-conversational-agent-or-chatbot-draft-a-patent) [Can a conversational agent or chatbot, such as ChatGPT, draft a patent?](https://www.jacobacci.com/en/news/can-a-conversational-agent-or-chatbot-draft-a-patent) 13 March 2023 [![Winter Olympics](https://www.jacobacci.com/hubfs/News%20e%20curiosit%C3%A0%20IP/J-Curiosity-sample-v4.jpg)](https://www.jacobacci.com/en/news/winter-olympics) [Winter Olympics](https://www.jacobacci.com/en/news/winter-olympics) 10 February 2022 [**](https://www.jacobacci.com/en/news/trademarks-in-argentina-end-of-novelty-examination#) Cookie Settings
