Trademark Management in Mexico: Protecting Your Intellectual Property

Mexico is a key jurisdiction for companies doing business in Latin America. Trademark protection in Mexico is governed by the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property (IMPI), which operates under a first-to-file system. To maintain trademark rights effectively, owners must comply with strict procedural requirements including record updates, legal representation, and defense against conflicting marks.

Liesegang & Partner offers comprehensive support for your trademark portfolio in Mexico—from ownership changes to oppositions—ensuring your rights remain secure and enforceable.
