peer agreement (net): +5the "first to file" principle (in this context) Explanation: In the context of trademark registration, the "primero en el tiempo, mejor en derecho" is called the "first to file principle" or "first to file system". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2010-01-06 11:20:58 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Explanation: This expression comes from the Latin "prior tempore, potior jure", meaning "earlier in time, stronger in right". In the context of trademark registration it refers to the priority rights that a trademark owner will be granted by being the first to file for (and be granted) a trademark registration. Rights in trademarks can be based on the "first to use" principle or the "first to file (for a trademark registration) principle". The expression "Registro en base al principio 'Primero en el tiempo, mejor en derecho'" refers to the fact that trademark registration (in the country of your text) is based on the "first to file principle" meaning that regardless of prior use, the first person to file an application to register the trademark (and, thus, the first person granted trademark registration) will be considered as the legal owner of the trademark in question.
