Revered as 'a top-level Mexican studio with excellent professionals', Uhthoff, Gómez Vega & Uhthoff, SC is an IP law boutique with a stellar reputation in litigation, while also being the destination firm for a host of multinationals looking to register trade marks and patents in Mexico. The firm is one of the oldest in the market, but on an individual level currently houses a number of the best known and most highly-regarded IP lawyers in the country. Senior partner Javier Uhthoff has longstanding relationships with major clients globally and in a variety of industries; he heads the patent department at the firm. A further key contact on that front, focused on the technical side of patent work, industrial engineer Eugenio Pérez oversees all matters related to technical advice to national and multinational companies. Senior partner in the trade mark department, Connie González draws on vast experience developing resolutions regarding filings, examinations, oppositions and appeal proceedings for multinational companies; Eryck Castillo is another senior trade mark advisor. For litigation and enforcement, Saúl Santoyo is the lead contact, with Xavier Hadad being a further key partner to note. From an impressive senior associate pool, Janett Lumbreras (a biological and pharmaceutical chemist) specializes in patent work; and IP, administrative law and IT&C litigator José Luis Ramos, are among the standouts.
