Covarrubias is a strong Santiago-based IP boutique with an active life sciences department. The legal team is frequently sought after by Chilean and international pharmaceutical laboratories, veterinary and food developers. The department is well equipped to deal with patent applications and portfolio management in this area, as well as regulatory mandates. TerSera Therapeutics is a new client win.

"Their work is extremely specialised and requires both legal and technical knowledge. In this sense, Covarrubias is one of the few firms with its own patent-qualified technical team."

Covarrubias represented Crop Microclimate Management in the litigation defence of a patent related to a method to increase the tolerance to abiotic stress in plants.

Arturo Covarrubias is the key client contact at Covarrubias.
