In 2015, the Mexican Association for the Protection of Intellectual Property ("AMPPI") celebrated its 50th anniversary, and although this is a date to be celebrated by people far and wide, as the efforts of this and other intellectual property-related associations and colleges to lead Mexico to an Intellectual Property Law consistent with the current needs are undeniable, this is also an appropriate time to reflect on the results of such efforts and on one of the essential issues – in the opinion of the undersigned – regarding the series of problems with respect to proper protection of Intellectual Property, i.e. the compensation for damages caused by those who infringe upon such rights.
