We support our copyright clients to do business safely, offering them the best legal and business perspective. In a global context, we are your legal advisors and also your business allies, since we know the general practices of the industries associated with copyright.
Likewise, our firm has been fortunate to successfully advise various companies on the authorized use of cultural expressions such as folklore or indigenous peoples, since many of these expressions are protected by copyright, by some law within the Mexican legal framework or by international law. Thus, our team has prepared various consultations, processed authorizations and obtained permits or licenses to use expressions of this type of protected art to apply them to products such as footwear, clothing, jewelry, accessories, among others.
Finally, the experience accumulated by our professionals goes beyond consultation, strategy and registration, since, in addition to understanding copyright in depth, we have successfully advised international companies in various litigations due to unauthorized use of their copyright, both in digital environments and in traditional physical media. The representation of our clients has included the initiation of criminal actions before the Attorney General of the Republic, including border measures, for unauthorized use of their works for the purposes of commercial speculation, as well as infringement procedures in commercial matters before the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property for various causes associated with the infringing use of copyright, as well as civil lawsuits for payment of royalties and considerations required in this way, so they can rest assured that they will always receive the best legal advice in this matter.
We will be more than happy to advise you on any matter related to the registration, protection or defense of your copyright.
