The multidisciplinary IP team at Carey is consistently sought out by companies from the energy, infrastructure, mining, transportation, technology, life sciences and healthcare sectors. The large department routinely assists with identifying and protecting IP rights, its specialisms covering copyright, data protection, anti-counterfeiting, consumer protection, product liability, and domain names. The practice also fields experts in geographical indications, designations of origin, intangible asset valuations, and IP management, along with labelling, advertising and licensing. Other notable areas include IP litigation, patents, plant varieties, trade secrets, unfair competition, and industrial design and trade mark-related prosecutions. Guillermo Carey‘s broad expertise ranges from trade marks, patents, IP litigation, licensing, and distribution and franchise agreements, to life sciences, data privacy, e-commerce, technology transfers and artificial intelligence; Francisco Carey, in turn, focuses on trade mark and patent procedures and prosecutions, as well as anti-counterfeiting. The second line of experienced practitioners showcases counsel Fernando García, an expert in IP protection mechanisms, administrative and contentious registration processes, nullity procedures for granted registrations, technology transfers, and trade mark and patent infringement litigation; and director Jorge Fuentes, an adviser on IP protection through patent rights. In the firm’s senior associate ranks, Catalina Aldunate is experienced in trade marks, domain names, patents, anti-counterfeiting and licensing; Carla Encalada acts in trade mark, patent and domain name litigation; and Jaime Henríquez assists with litigation concerning the infringement of intellectual and industrial rights.
