Acting for Chilean universities, start-ups, spin-offs, companies, and research and development centres, MICP Abogados’ IP practitioners ‘always strive to provide clear and helpful answers’. In addition to handling foreign Patent Cooperation Treaty patent applications, the practice assists national clients with patentability assessments, drafting applications, prosecutions, technology transfers and litigation. The trade mark practice covers the life cycle of brand management, from clearance, filing and prosecution stages, to enforcement phases, including infringements. Other notable areas include anti-counterfeiting and domain names. IP head Rodrigo Marré Grez also specialises in unfair competition, corporate and aviation law; while beyond the partnership, trade mark director Ignacia Lería ’inspires confidence’. The practice further includes experienced director Virgilio Topasio, who leads the firm’s patents offering; and associate José Tomás Álvarez, who heads up enforcement work. Former director Juan Avendaño departed the firm in September 2025.
