Patent examination in Mexico: how to achieve top marks

With technology developing so fast, patentees often combine different technical fields when seeking protection, which represents a challenge for patent examination. The following examples require a combination of technical knowledge from several areas to make the inventions useful: computer-implemented inventions in which software improves a process; nanochips that can be implanted in the human body to interact with various communication devices; household appliances that can be connected to the internet to communicate with users and make decisions for supplying foods; and pipes that incorporate a novel chemical coating for improving their sealing.
