Work & experience
Provided by OLIVARES
OLIVARES built its reputation by working to change how Mexico's IP system functions, through litigation, lobbying, and constitutional cases that reshaped the law. Its patent group has filed close to 20,000 applications in the past decade. Recent work includes the Supreme Court trade dress victory for Grupo Modelo against Heineken Mexico in 2025, and a 2024 Supreme Court ruling that corrected the burden of proof standard for pharmaceutical process patents.
