INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND COPYRIGHTS

Much of our intellectual property work is for non-Mexican companies conducting business in Mexico. A staff of attorneys, engineers and computer specialists helps adapt foreign patent specifications and claims to Mexican law, register patents and trademarks and maintain them by handling the necessary renewals. Our computer system, which is linked to the Mexican Patent and Trademark Department, permits us to give clients timely notice of dates important for the protection of intellectual property. We also perform trademark searches and prepare and register user agreements.

We register copyrights and draft agreements between authors and publishers. Increasingly, due to changes in technology, we are called on for assistance in licensing and litigation relating to computer software.

Goodrich, Riquelme's attorneys handle litigation for clients in all areas such as licensing, patent and trademark infringement, including counterfeiting, pirating and unlawful duplication of computer software.
