Use it or lose it

Articles 165 to 170 of Decision 486, under the Common Regime of Industrial Property of the Commission of the Andean Community, state that a partial cancellation occurs when a trademark is not being used in relation to all the products or services for which it was granted. In these cases, the mark ceases to cover these products or services, and just covers the goods or services whose use is proven. A complete cancellation affects all products or services protected by the mark.
