New Standarts For Anticounterfeiting Claims In Mexico

Recently, the Attorney General´s Office ("FGR" in Spanish) appointed a new Head of the Specialized Unit for the Investigation of Crimes against Copyright and Industrial Property ("UEIDDAPI" in Spanish). This is the federal criminal authority in charge of prosecuting and sanctioning crimes in the field of Intellectual Property.

As members of certain associations and chambers, various partners and associates of OLIVARES have attended meetings with this authority, during which we have been informed that various changes have been made to the standards and practices in relation to combating counterfeits and piracy.

We consider it especially important to communicate these changes of standards and practices, specifically in relation to the execution of raids to identify and seize counterfeit or pirated products in Mexico.
