The IP practice at Pérez Bustamante & Ponce continues to expand its offering in the patents, copyright and trade mark spaces, where it acts for companies operating in the cosmetics, food and beverage, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals and luxury goods industries. Francisco Pérez draws from 27 years of experience managing trade mark portfolios and handling complex IP litigation to steer the team alongside the highly regarded Margarita Romero, who joined from Romero Corral Abogados in April 2023. The group demonstrates further capabilities in plant variety protection, industrial design, anti-counterfeiting and customs matters; a recent highlight for the group was its representation of Jaguar Land Rover in relation to its Jaguar trade mark. Pérez is supported by a team of senior associates, with infringement litigation expert Rafael González and portfolio management specialists Camila Mateus, who was promoted in April 2022, and Alysa Arcos standing out.
