Indeed.  This looks like an issue of trademarks.

One thing that the document says is that the trademarks of the party
will be protected from misuse.  I think that this is fine.

If you cannot use the word "Argentina" or "Argentino" as part of the
name of PPAR within Argentina, that would be a bit stupid in my
opinion.  More or less like Eduardo suggests, I would use "Pirate Party"
only when you really need to and use "Partido Pirata Argentino" for everything else.

Cheers,

Marco
