PATENTS, CREATIONS AND INDUSTRIAL SECRETS

Industrial creations and innovation carried out by companies or individuals can be protected as product or process patents in Mexico, if they meet the criteria of novelty and other technical aspects. For many companies, this protection represents their main source of business. Our firm has the technical and legal personnel necessary to protect inventions in any type of industry: pharmaceutical, automotive, mechanical, oil, digital, telephone, telecommunications, etc.

The protection we offer not only covers patentable inventions and processes, but also industrial designs and utility models, figures that allow companies to obtain exclusivity from third parties and, therefore, be more competitive.

In this sense, the most relevant services that our lawyers and engineers offer to our clients in patent matters are the following:

  1. Patents, utility models and industrial designs searches (technique and prior art)

  2. Preparation and submission of patents, industrial designs or utility models applications

  3. Opinions on the use of patents due to possible infringing use

  4. Advice on industrial secrets both for the protection, and for the initiation of infringements or criminal complaints

  5. Payment of validity maintenance (patent annuities)

  6. Technology transfer contracts

On the other hand, our firm is aware that much of the confidential information of companies can provide a competitive advantage over their competitors, either because it is valuable in the relevant market in which they operate or because it is unknown to competitors and, consequently, provides those who possess it with an important advantage to stand out in their market. Therefore, our firm can advise on the best way to protect this information, such as industrial secret protection.

In any case, our team will be happy to provide you with the best advice so that you can make the most appropriate decision about the protection of your creations, both in Mexico and in the rest of the world.
