Have patent term adjustments arrived in Mexico?

A new Federal Law for the Protection of Industrial Property (LFPPI) came into force in Mexico last year. The new law will affect industrial property rights including patents. For the first time in Mexico, the possibility of adjusting the validity of patents is allowed when there have been unjustified delays during its examination. All patents filed as of November 5, 2020, may benefit from this right if the requirements established in the LFPPI are met.
