Provided by Espino Nieto & Asociados
Espino Nieto provides comprehensive intellectual property services to local and international clients in El Salvador and across the region, including Fortune 500 companies. The firm advises on the full lifecycle of IP rights, including trademarks, patents, industrial designs, copyright, trade names and domain names, as well as portfolio strategy, prosecution, renewals, recordals, licensing, assignments and other commercial transactions.
The team has extensive experience in contentious and non-contentious IP matters, including oppositions, cancellation and nullity actions, infringement proceedings, anti-counterfeiting measures, unfair competition and enforcement before administrative and judicial authorities. The firm also advises on IP due diligence, ownership and transfer of rights, technology-related matters and the protection and commercialization of intangible assets.
Recent work includes advising a tokenization business on the protection of its IP across Latin America, assisting a multinational retailer in protecting its trade dress against infringement, and leading negotiations and preparation for judicial proceedings in a software-related dispute.
The IP practice combines strong technical knowledge with a practical, commercially focused approach to protecting, managing and enforcing valuable IP portfolios.
