Las Marcas en América Latina: Estudio del Impacto Económico en Cinco Países de la Region (Chile, Colombia, México, Panamá y Perú)

Trademarks in Latin America: A study of their economic impact in five countries in the region (Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Panama, and Peru)

INTA and ASIPI collaborated on this study to determine the impact of trademark-intensive industries on the economies of Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Panama and Peru. The study focuses on trademarks’ contribution to gross domestic product (GDP); external trade; tax revenue; foreign direct investment and job creation, and on their benefit to employment and wages. Across the five countries, trademark-intensive industries generated 8% – 26% of total employment; and 10% – 21% of GDP. This is equivalent to 18.5 million jobs and a value added per person of US $2,390 annually.

Intellectual property (IP)-intensive industries—including trademark-intensive industries—contribute to trade, economic growth, and employment worldwide. View our infographic for a comparative look at how trademarks add economic value in a range of geographic regions.
