Intellectual Property
What sets your company apart deserves protection.
Your business name, logo, designs and creations are part of what your company is worth. We help you protect them from the start, keep that protection in force and defend it when someone tries to take advantage of it.
A trademark registered in time prevents a third party from getting there first and stopping you from using the name your customers already know. Before filing with INDECOPI we assess whether the sign is registrable, which similar marks exist and in which classes it should be protected. This reduces the objections, oppositions and refusals that delay the process or make it more expensive.
Registration is only the first step. We support our clients in watching their trademarks, in renewals and in defending against applications or uses that cause confusion. We also structure licenses, assignments and contracts that allow these assets to be exploited commercially and safely.
Our Intellectual Property practice includes:
- Clearance search and filing strategy: prior-rights and registrability analysis before you invest in the application.
- Trademark registration and renewal: trademarks, trade names and slogans before INDECOPI.
- Oppositions, invalidity and cancellation actions: defense of your trademark and actions against registrations that affect it.
- Trademark watch: monitoring of new applications to act in time against confusingly similar signs.
- Infringement: demand letters, complaints and measures to stop the misuse of your rights.
- Patents and industrial designs: protection of inventions and designs, working with technical specialists when needed.
- Copyright: registration and defense of works, software and content.
- Licenses and assignments: contracts to exploit, transfer or franchise your intangible assets.
