Dentons' IP team takes advantage of the global firm’s extensive footprint in Central America to advise a host of leading multinationals on the management of their trade mark and health registration portfolios in the region. The team advises on a steady stream of registrations and renewals, and also has a strong record in trade mark opposition and cancellation actions. The music and entertainment sectors are core areas of expertise for the practice, but it also has a growing client base in the pharmaceutical industry. ‘Exceptional' IP and technology director Gabriela Gándara, an expert in trade marks and copyright, leads the team, supported by associate María José Huerta, who joined from the Registry of Intellectual Property in March 2023, and litigation director Paola Haase.
