Electronic Filing: The IMPI Trend

One of the objectives of the Special Program for the Improvement in the Federal Public Administration Management (APF) 2008-2012, which belongs to the Public Service Ministry, is to maximize the quality of the goods and services it provides, improving the public services delivery by using and taking advantage of the developments in the information technologies and communication sector.

Thanks to this program, the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property (IMPI) has been obliged to align with this principle and consequently, has set short-term goals which include:

• To streamline and facilitate the process of filing of Design and Trademark applications, by filling, paying and sending the application via Internet.
