Venue in a Case of Trademark Nullity

The court assigned the case to the court in Buenos Aires, noting that the proper judge to hear a trademark nullity case is the one having jurisdiction over the place where the authority, which issued the act whose cancellation is sought, is located.

Thus, it is clear that trademark nullity cases, and by analogy, all nullity cases involving industrial property rights, must be prosecuted before the National Federal Courts of the City of Buenos Aires.
