Innovation in Venezuela is regaining momentum. This October, the Venezuelan Patent and Trademark Office (VPTO) sent a clear signal to the global market: patents are back on the agenda and they’re making a strong comeback in key sectors.
After years of administrative silence that led to strategic paralysis, the recent IP Bulletin No. 646 (October 2025) marks a turning point with the granting of multiple patents in the pharmaceutical and chemical fields for the first time since 2022, alongside continued grants in other critical sectors of the economy such as mechanical engineering, energy, oil, and gas. This is not just a legal milestone; it’s a sign of renewed activity that restores confidence in protecting R&D investments in the country. It’s also a crucial moment for companies in these industries to capitalize on their innovations and secure a competitive edge in Venezuela.
