During this seminar, which will be given in Spanish, our IP experts will explain the main issues related to the protection of Intellectual Property, which must be taken into account when internationalising a business to Latin American markets, with special focus on Chile, Mexico, Peru and Colombia.

In our latest blog post, IP expert Diego Acuña (ClarkeModet Chile) analyses the results we can expect for Chile with the incorporation of this system, and what could be the legal, social and economic implications, as well as the advantages and challenges that this may represent for our country, which are closely related to the definition of public policies that Chile wishes to adopt.

The creation of this agency, considering the international treaties of which Mexico is now party to, gives hope that customs may actually be granted the power to act without an injunction. This way, they will be able to secure and seize infringing goods that violate IP rights. Whether or not the agency will be able to act ex officio and seize counterfeit goods without an injunction will be revealed once we get the Internal Regulations of the National Customs Agency of Mexico.

This EU-funded Doing-Business platform aims to develop B2B relations between EU providers of low carbon technologies and companies based in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, or Colombia that are seeking sustainable solutions.

The Helpline service provides first-line assistance on Intellectual Property protection and IP rights enforcement in Latin America. All questions sent through this service will receive a tailor-made answer by our IP experts or it will be signposted to appropriate organisations within no more than 3 working days.
