Although use is not a condition for trademark registration, it is required for renewing the validity of the trademark, as specified in Article 5 of Trademark Law No. 22.362. Indeed, a trademark "may be renewed indefinitely for like periods provided that it was used, within five years preceding each expiry date … ". Use does not have to be continuous for registration to be maintained. Article 5 further states that use may be established through the marketing of a product, the performance of a service, or utilization of the trademark as part of the designation of an activity.
