The department's industry-by-industy focus benefits clients through the provision of sector specialists available to assist with regulatory issues alongside the range of IP-specific work. In its frequent defence of global trade marks the firm draws on its considerable international presence as well as its multiple offices in Mexico. For patents, Marina Hurtado-Cruz is the main contact; she excels in the healthcare and life science-related matters. Copyright and media matters are overseen by Carlos Dávila-Peniche, whose practice encompasses franchising and licensing agreements, as well as clearance and litigation strategies, both locally and regionally. Gresly Marcano heads the trade mark sub-group, managing clients’ local and global trade mark portfolios.
