Every great creation knows no borders — and neither should its protection. Mexico is the market where your innovation needs to be secured.
We are your trusted Mexican IP correspondent. For independent creators, companies and foreign law firms, we handle the complete lifecycle of protection of patents, utility models, industrial designs, integrated circuit layout designs and trademarks before IMPI; copyrights and rights reservations before INDAUTOR; and plant varieties before SNICS.
In Mexico, approximately 15,000 patent applications are filed each year, and 94% come from foreign applicants. Of all Mexican applications filed with professional drafting, our firm handles half. When you send us a case, you are sending it to engineers and attorneys who read the claims and understand the technology.
94% of all patent applications in Mexico come from abroad — the world wants to protect its innovation in Mexico.
Why your IP
must be protected
in Mexico.
12th Largest Economy
Mexico's GDP exceeds USD $1.3 trillion. With 130+ million consumers and a rapidly growing middle class, it is one of the world's most attractive markets — and one where unprotected IP is at risk of being copied.
Nearshoring Boom
Global supply chain restructuring is driving massive manufacturing investment into Mexico. Companies from the US, Europe, Asia and beyond are relocating production — and they need their IP protected locally before competitors move in.
USMCA / T-MEC
The United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement created the world's largest free trade zone. Enhanced IP protections under USMCA mean stronger enforcement — but only if your rights are registered in Mexico.
Full Treaty Coverage
Mexico is a member of the Paris Convention, PCT, Madrid Protocol, Hague Agreement, WIPO Copyright Treaty and TRIPS. Your existing international filings provide priority rights — but you must act within the deadlines.
Modern IP Office
IMPI (Mexican Institute of Industrial Property) is a well-established, efficient office with electronic filing, searchable databases and a consistent track record. Mexico's IP framework is robust and continuously improving.
Strategic Location
Bordering the United States, Mexico is the bridge between North America and Latin America. Protecting your IP here is often the first step to covering the entire region.
"If your innovation isn't protected in Mexico, someone else will use it."
Complete IP prosecution
in Mexico.
Whether you are a company entering the Mexican market or a law firm seeking a trusted correspondent, we handle the full lifecycle of IP protection before IMPI — and we correspond with you in English at every stage.
"Your innovation deserves the strength of Mexican IP protection."
Why Competitividad
Intelectual?
We are not a generalist law firm. We are a specialized IP practice founded by engineers and patent agents who understand your technology from the inside out. When you send us a case, you are not sending it to a translator — you are sending it to a team that reads the claims, understands the invention and builds prosecution strategy accordingly.
Of all Mexican patent applications filed with professional drafting, our firm handles half. That is not a marketing claim — it is a verifiable fact reflected in IMPI's own statistics.
We have been doing this for 23 years, from our base in Saltillo, Coahuila — the Athens of Mexico. We work with correspondents in 120+ countries and serve clients from the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia and Latin America.
The meaning of our logo
The "i" represents the creator — the inventor, the artist, the entrepreneur. The "C" that wraps around it is the creative environment that drives innovation. The thin arrow symbolizes the initial investment, often small, that every creation requires. The thick arrow represents the significant returns generated by a well-protected innovation. Together they form a virtuous cycle: creation → investment → protection → profit — and this cycle repeats as long as your rights remain in force.
Simple. Transparent. Reliable.
Whether you are a company or a law firm, our process is designed for seamless international collaboration.
