OlarteMoure

Practitioners at OlarteMoure are lauded for their holistic perspective on IP law, with clients valuing their ability ‘to “connect the dots” across different IP topics to offer efficient solutions’. Fielding one of the deepest benches in the market, the firm counts six partners and 22 other lawyers — alongside numerous non-legal professionals — dedicated to the area, which is reflected in its diverse caseload spanning patents, trade marks, copyrights and trade secrets, among other matters. Co-founding partner Carlos Olarte is highlighted for his ’extensive experience in patent matters from both the legal and technical standpoints’; he is representing Ericsson, as part of a global litigation strategy, in several preliminary injunction requests against Lenovo, Motorola and others for the infringement of its 5G standard essential patent portfolio. Other high-profile names include fellow name partner Juan Moure, who leads the competition and trade mark areas; Alexander Agudelo, who spearheads the patent practice; trade mark partner María Alejandra Pava, who focuses on global portfolio management; Beatriz Morales, who manages the Barranquilla office; and patent director Mónica Guevara. The department further benefits from a deep pool of associates including associate director of the patent section, Liliana Galindo Díaz; and trade mark co-ordinator, Luciana Moreno. IP litigator Juan Felipe Acosta left the firm in October 2024.
