Patents

How do you register or secure patent rights, and is national or international coverage most appropriate?

Patent rights in Mexico are secured by the filing of a patent application in strict compliance with the Mexican Industrial Property Law. While filing and prosecuting a patent application is a task that can be done directly by either the inventor or the owner of the invention, the technicality and knowledge of the law often requires the assistance of patent professionals in order to increase the probabilities of success. Mexico also offers protection for utility and design patents.
