Intellectual Property

Intellectual property is a key component in the business strategy of companies that prioritize innovation, technological development, and market differentiation. Our practice advises domestic and international clients on the protection, enforcement, and strategic use of their intangible assets.

We provide legal counsel on matters involving trademarks, copyrights, patents, trade secrets, and licensing agreements. We also represent clients in administrative and judicial proceedings related to infringement, unfair competition, piracy, and unauthorized use of content, including in digital environments.

Our approach combines litigation experience, technical expertise, and a deep understanding of the regulatory and commercial landscape across industries such as technology, media, entertainment, fashion, and consumer goods. Through integrated strategies, we turn intellectual property assets into legal safeguards and drivers of business growth.
