Trademarks · Before filing
Before filing, you need to know whether your mark has a real chance of being granted. We search the IMPI register and tell you if it can proceed as is.
Trademarks · National filing
We file before IMPI and handle the whole prosecution — classification, monitoring and responses — until you hold exclusive rights in Mexico.
Trademarks · Maintenance
Three years after the grant IMPI requires proof of use. If it is not filed on time the registration is cancelled. We track the deadline for you.
Trademarks
We file your mark before IMPI with the correct Nice classification and handle prosecution end to end, from the application to the registration certificate.
Trademarks
Your mark is only protected where it is registered. We coordinate Madrid Protocol designations and direct national filings from your Mexican base.
Trademarks
A registration lasts ten years and then it must be renewed or it lapses. We file within the statutory window and remind you well in advance.
Trademarks
Mandatory within three months of the third anniversary of the grant. Missing it cancels the registration. We track the deadline and prepare the evidence.
Trademarks
Would you know if someone filed a mark similar to yours? We monitor the IMPI Gazette and alert you in time to oppose.
Trademarks
If someone is selling under your name on Instagram, TikTok, Amazon or Mercado Libre, we file the takedowns and follow them through.
Trademarks
Your mark can generate revenue beyond your own operation. We structure licence and franchise agreements with the registrations that support them.
Copyright
Copyright arises on creation, but registration is the proof of authorship and date you need in a dispute. We register text, music, art, audiovisual and software.
Copyright
Your source code is protected by copyright, not by patent. We register programs and their documentation before Indautor.
Copyright
Who legally owns the content you create or commission? We draft and review the agreements that answer that in writing.
Copyright
If an employee or freelancer creates content for your company, the rights are not automatically yours. A clear clause avoids the argument.
Copyright
Translations, adaptations and compilations are protectable in their own right. We register them and clarify the underlying rights.
Copyright
For characters, publication titles and promotional names, Mexican law offers a separate registration before Indautor.
Copyright
Content of yours being used without authorisation on platforms. We handle notices, escalation and follow-up.
Patents and designs
A technical development can become an exclusive commercial asset. We assess patentability and file before IMPI.
Patents and designs
The shape, pattern or ornamentation of a product can be protected independently of its function.
Patents and designs
Not everything valuable is registrable. Know-how and confidential information are protected by contract and by internal controls.
Corporate
We help you choose the right corporate form and incorporate it, with the intellectual property assigned to the company from day one.
Corporate
Capital increases, changes of shareholders, statutory amendments, dissolution and orderly liquidation.
Corporate
A badly drafted contract can cost you your brand or your creations. We draft and review with IP ownership on the table.
Corporate
Could you prove today who has authority to sign for your company? We keep the corporate book and powers of attorney in order.
Corporate
A company without a compliance programme also answers for the acts of its people. We design and implement one to your size.
Other
If you collect client or employee data you need a privacy notice and internal procedures that actually work.
Other
Cap table, shareholder agreements, vesting and IP assignment. The things investors check before they wire.
Other
Do you know exactly which IP assets your company holds and whether they are properly protected and in your name?
Other
How much is your brand or your patent actually worth? Needed to raise capital, license technology or sell.
Other
When someone uses your mark without authorisation, every day counts. Infringement actions and customs seizure of counterfeit goods.
Our fee is USD 500 plus VAT per mark and per class, and it includes the official IMPI fees. If you need protection in more than one Nice class, one application is filed per class.
Four to six months when there are no refusals or oppositions. We deliver the availability opinion in the first week and file within two weeks.
No. Foreign individuals and companies can own Mexican trademarks. You do need a local address for service, which we provide, and a power of attorney.
IMPI issues an office action stating the ground, usually likelihood of confusion or lack of distinctiveness. We analyse it and file a reasoned response.
No search is an absolute guarantee, but it materially reduces the risk by identifying identical or similar marks before you file and lose the official fee.
A mandatory filing proving the mark is in use, due within the three months following the third anniversary of the grant. Missing it cancels the registration.
No. It covers Mexico only. For other jurisdictions we coordinate national filings or a Madrid Protocol application.
Yes. We work remotely with clients across Mexico and abroad; IMPI prosecution is handled online.
