Intellectual Property

At MNP Consultores we help our clients to protect and defend their intellectual capital, ensuring the ownership, exploitation and legal defense of trademarks, copyrights, industrial secrets, software, commercial image and other key elements for business competitiveness.

We offer comprehensive solutions ranging from initial registration to enforcement of rights in complex litigation, both in Mexico and in some foreign countries, with a consultative approach that allows companies to maximize the value of their creations and prevent legal and reputational risks.
