Intellectual property services for businesses in Mexico
Ramírez Esteves advises domestic and international businesses on protecting, defending and using intellectual property assets in Mexico. Based in Guadalajara and Zapopan, our practice combines legal analysis with the commercial objective of each matter. We also work with foreign counsel coordinating a client's Mexican IP needs.

Intellectual property litigation
We assess disputes concerning trademarks, patents, copyright, trade secrets and domain names, including enforcement and defense. Learn about our IP litigation practice in Mexico and our enforcement and anti-counterfeiting services.
Brand valuation and intangible assets
Identify and document the legal position of your IP assets and coordinate valuation work for a defined purpose. The scope and requirements depend on the transaction, licensing arrangement or other intended use. Our brand valuation service covers projects across Mexico.
Patents
We advise on protecting technical inventions and on the legal strategy associated with patent applications, exploitation and disputes. A preliminary enquiry should describe the invention, ownership, relevant jurisdictions and any existing filings or deadlines. The technical and legal scope is defined for the matter.
Copyright
Protect and manage creative works, software and related rights. We assist with ownership, registration, licensing, exploitation and disputes. Read about our copyright services in Mexico.
Trade secrets
Identify confidential business information and review the legal, contractual and practical measures used to protect it. Our work can include confidentiality arrangements, documentation and assessment of unauthorized disclosure or use.
Industrial designs
Assess protection for the ornamental appearance of products and the legal rights relevant to their commercial exploitation. Tell us about the design, ownership, existing disclosure or applications, and target markets so that the appropriate scope can be reviewed.
Domain names
We advise on the management and defense of digital identity and on domain name disputes. Where a recovery or arbitration procedure is being considered, the domain, the rights relied upon and the available evidence must be assessed.
Appellations of origin and geographical indications
We advise on legal protection and the authorized use of geographically identified products, including intellectual property matters relevant to tequila and mezcal businesses. The product, rights, authorization and commercial arrangements determine the required work.
Corporate matters and IP transactions
We assist with the legal documentation and structure of intellectual property ownership, licensing, exploitation and transfer within business projects. The engagement may involve portfolio review, agreements and coordination with the participants responsible for the broader transaction.
How to start a matter in Mexico
Send a preliminary summary of your objective, the parties and assets involved, the jurisdictions and any existing proceedings or stated deadlines. We will review the enquiry, identify the information required and define the proposed scope before beginning work.
