OLIVARES offers one of the most specialized and prominent patent practices in Mexico. Thanks to its reputation for timely processing and obtaining patents and protecting client’s inventions, OLIVARES has received recognition by Managing IP and IAM magazines as a leading law firm in Mexico in patents and has been classified by Chambers and Partners as a Level 1 law firm for Intellectual Property in Mexico.

In the last 10 years, OLIVARES has processed and obtained nearly 20,000 patents, achieved by a dedicated team of lawyers and engineers with unique knowledge and experience in the Mexican Patent System. With more than half a century of experience, OLIVARES represents many leading companies in innovation, as well as numerous companies with substantial technical specializations, and often high-value patent portfolios.

In 1969, OLIVARES became the first firm in Mexico to bring together scientific and legal knowledge, providing a comprehensive leading-edge approach to patent protection. OLIVARES’ technical specialists are currently integrated into three large working groups:

• Mechanical-electrical
• Pharmaceutical
• Chemical

Each patent working group is headed by a senior associate, with extensive experience in the area and in the particularities of processing and obtaining patents in these fields. In each group, engineers, and scientists, along with expert patent paralegals, work together to facilitate the prompt filing and attention to patent applications, both digitally and in person, when necessary, at the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property (IMPI) and with the National Seed Inspection and Certification Service (SNICS).

Patent Services Across Latin America

OLIVARES’ patent processing services are not limited only to Mexico. Clients often rely on the firm’s services to protect their patents throughout Latin America and around the world. In certain countries in the Latin America, it can be difficult to find the technical skills required to obtain successful patent results. OLIVARES has a network of partners throughout the Americas, which have been selected for their high level of specialization and reliable success records, significantly reducing client risk.

OLIVARES’ patent team works closely with the firm’s litigation team to enforce client’s rights against third parties who misappropriate the patented technology.

The scope and breadth of the claims granted is of the utmost importance to enforce these rights, making the communion between Engineers, Scientists and Lawyers that OLIVARES provides of transcendental importance.
