Intellectual Property
We provide comprehensive intellectual property counseling in Peru and abroad.
In a globalized world, trading of goods and services is at the core of the economy. Therefore, economic agents in the market seek in one way or another to distinguish themselves from the competition by building an adequate reputation for their business: Quality and innovation of its products, original designs, customer service, premium services offered for consumption, external activities to support society in general, among others. However, all the components that are part of this business goodwill construction must be protected by intellectual property laws, in order to obtain exclusive rights over the identification or peculiarity of the products and services that the company will seek to place on the market; for this purpose, the registration of products and services trademarks, invention patent applications, industrial design registrations, and registration of works in general, positively contribute to the security of the commercial agent to enter the national market and, if so warranted, to oppose third parties who, in time, seek to take advantage of their reputation, which they have worked so hard to build.
