PATENTS

Prosecution – Patent law is one of our core practices. OLIVARES has a reputation for getting complex patent applications granted quickly and effectively and is consistently named the Leading IP Law Firm for Patent Prosecution in Mexico by Managing IP magazine. Furthermore, OLIVARES is one of only two firms voted into Band 1 – Intellectual Property Law Firms in Mexico by Chambers Latin America.

OLIVARES has obtained more than 14,000 patents in the last 10 years and our patent lawyers have an unrivalled knowledge of the Mexican patent system. With nearly half a century of experience, we represent many of the world’s largest companies as well as many highly niche and technically advanced companies who own some of the most highly prized and commercially valuable global patent portfolios.

In 1969 we were the first firm in Mexico to employ staff with technical, scientific and specialized knowledge to work alongside attorneys. Today our patent team has technical specialists, engineers and scientists with backgrounds in:

These technical specialists work hand-in-hand with our dedicated patent department attorneys and skilled translators to meet clients’ needs both in Mexico and when prosecuting PCT patent applications across Latin America

Latin America Network – Our prosecution services are not just limited to Mexico, some clients manage all their patent work for the Latin America region through OLIVARES. In many Latin American countries it is extremely hard to find the exact technical engineering skills required for successful patent prosecution. Our network of IP firms is highly specialized; we only use firms with the exact technical needed for the patent being filed, ultimately lowering risk for the client.

Translations – Our team of in-house translators works hand-in-hand with the engineers and lawyers to ensure patent translations are ‘technically and legally accurate’. No job is too large and, given the skills, importance of this element of the patent prosecution process, our rates are extremely competitive.

Additionally, OLIVARES’ patent attorneys and agents ensure the protection of clients’ patents by offering legal services in areas that are a natural extension of patent prosecution:

• Litigation
• Licensing, mergers and acquisitions
• Regulatory
