Intellectual Property, Technology, and Innovation
Our lawyers in the intellectual property and innovation practice work closely with our clients to protect their inventions, ideas, technology, literary and artistic works, as well as trademarks and brands. Our goal is to maximize intellectual property in order to protect market branding and the market position acquired through business performance.
We have a qualified group of lawyers with expertise in the protection of trade secrets, patents, protected geographical indications, industrial designs, technical drawings and designations of origin. Likewise we assist our clients in submitting trademark, patent, industrial design, and other IP related applications before the Superintendence of Industry and Commerce (SIC: Superintendencia de Industria y Comercio). Additionally, the firm’s lawyers develop and secure license agreements for the use of trademarks, franchises, and the transfer of rights.
Regarding intellectual property litigation, we represent our clients in all stages of disputes, as well as in alternative dispute resolutions and advise them in IP matters, such as copyrights, misappropriation and advertising. Our lawyers have a deep understanding of legal issues presented by potential IP disputes and deals and the broad spectrum of rights linked to IT, software development and technological innovation, as well as other businesses, such as the film industry and industrial design.
We assist our clients structuring schemes that guarantee the correct transfer of know-how in order to harness intellectual property. Our practice also conducts due diligence in transactions involving technology and IP transfers, driven by the commercialization of intangible and technology assets, as well as rights derived from intellectual property.
For the FinTech industry, the businesses that leverage technology to develop avant-garde financial products and services, the firm has hands-on experience that enables us to adequately navigate the regulatory, corporate and business issues faced by this high-growth sector. Furthermore, as blockchain technology has evolved, we have aimed to understand the underlying technology and the business drivers of the blockchain ecosystem. Thus we provide legal advice on technology, intellectual property, the corporate structure and the regulatory compliance that companies must take into account when they work with blockchain-based platforms and digital assets, such as virtual currencies. Our attorneys and experts understand the financial industry regulation, the provisions on anti-money laundering and foreign asset controls, as well as patents and trademarks and the taxation associated with FinTech and blockchain technology.
