Intellectual Property

Protecting your intellectual property in Costa Rica is essential for businesses expanding into the region. Our IP team handles trademark registration, patent applications, copyright protection, and enforcement of your intellectual property rights.

How We Help

Trademark registration and renewal

We file trademark applications with the Registro de Propiedad Industrial, conduct availability searches, and manage renewal deadlines to keep your brand protection current.

Patent applications

We prepare and file patent applications in Costa Rica, conduct prior art searches, and respond to office actions to secure protection for your inventions.

Copyright registration

We register your creative works with the Registro Nacional de Derechos de Autor, establishing priority dates and creating an official record of your authorship rights.

IP portfolio management

We monitor, maintain, and strategically grow your intellectual property portfolio across Central America, ensuring deadlines are met and protection remains comprehensive.

Licensing agreements

We draft and negotiate licensing deals covering royalty structures, territorial rights, sublicensing terms, and performance obligations to maximize the value of your IP assets.

IP enforcement and litigation

We pursue infringers through cease-and-desist letters, administrative proceedings before the Registro, or civil litigation to stop unauthorized use of your intellectual property.

Trade secret protection

We implement confidentiality agreements, employee NDAs, and internal protocols to protect your proprietary information, trade secrets, and competitive advantages.

Domain name disputes

We resolve domain name disputes through WIPO arbitration or local proceedings, and take action to recover domain names that infringe on your trademark rights.
