SERVICES
The main legal
services in the
field of
Intellectual
Property are:
1.
INDUSTRIAL
PROPERTY
SERVICES
a.
Trademark
Control and
Oversight
Our Firm has
internally
developed a
specialized
software, which
we have called
“TRADEMARK
CONTROL AND
OVERSIGHT
SYSTEM” (SCVM),
which is aimed
at keeping a
detailed and
automated
control of our
clients’
trademarks,
including
trademarks for
which
registration
applications are
filed with the
Peruvian
Trademark
Office, in such
a way that we
are in a
capacity to
protect the
former against
third-party
infringements or
their eventual
expiration.
Through the
SCVM, we compare
the trademark
registration
applications
filed in our
country with our
clients’
trademarks. In
this way, we can
detect any
eventual
similarity that
may infringe our
clients’
industrial
property rights
and, if
applicable, file
in due course
the pertinent
legal actions.
Our clients
receive this
information
through our
report called
“ALERTA DE
OPOSICION”
(Opposition
Warning)
Additionally,
through the SCVM
system, we can
keep our clients
informed on a
monthly basis of
the filing of
trademark
registration
applications
related to their
field of
business, for
them to be aware
of the market
registration
applications
filed in
relation to the
class of
products or
services they
may be
interested in.
Apart from
and together
with the SCVM,
we have
developed a
novel program
that we have
called “IP SOFT
SYSTEM”, through
which our
clients can gain
access, from
their own
offices, to
consolidated
information on
their trademark
portfolio. This
program also
provides access
to the
trademarks
published in the
Official
Bulletin
published in.
b. Monthly
Report on
Publications and
Procedures
Underway
Every month, our
clients receive
a report issued
by our
Intellectual
Property
Practice Group,
where we inform
them about the
current status
of each and all
of their ongoing
procedures. A
list of
trademark
registration
applications
filed in Peru
during the last
month, related
to the company’s
field of
business, is
attached to said
report.
c.
International
Administration
of the Trademark
Portfolio
Due to the
growth of
exports in Peru,
our Intellectual
Property
Practice Group
has established
a contact
network with
different
intellectual
property agents
worldwide in
order to provide
our clients with
international
advice in this
field.
This service
is aimed at
making it easier
for our clients
to protect their
intellectual
property rights
in the country
or in the
countries where
they may wish to
start commercial
activities. In
this way, our
clients may
bring their
products or
services to any
country, knowing
for certain that
they will not be
exposed to
border measures
that prevent the
entry of their
products or
services or to
accusations for
infringing
intellectual
property rights
once they enter
said markets.
Through this
service, our
clients can
obtain detailed
information on
an agile,
consolidated and
personal basis,
thus overcoming
the obstacle of
making reliable
contacts with
experienced
people
worldwide. It
also provides
access to
multilateral
services within
a shorter period
of time and at a
lower cost,
which in turn
brings about
savings in terms
of time and
resources.
Through this
service, our
clients’
trademark
portfolio is
managed and
controlled from
Peru. Our
clients may ask
us for any
industrial
property
service, whether
it is to be
rendered in Peru
or in any part
of the world.
d. Audits
on Registration
and the Use of
Trademarks
Registration
Audits
Our legal team
conducts a
preliminary
though full
evaluation of
the clients’
industrial
property rights,
supported by
automated
registration
searches and
physical reviews
of dockets at
the Peruvian
Trademark
Office.
After
completing this
evaluation, the
client receives
a report with
all issues
detected during
the
investigation.
The information
is then entered
onto our system
so that we may
take the
corresponding
control and
supervision
action.
Audits
regarding the
Use of
Trademarks
Clients that
have a broad
portfolio of
trademarks and
usually
advertise their
products and/or
services through
pamphlets,
catalogs,
magazines, or
brochures send
said documents
to the Firm for
us to detect
whether the
trademarks or
commercial
slogans
publicized
therein are duly
registered. At
the end of the
evaluation, the
client receives
a report with
the names and
phrases that are
not registered,
for it to decide
whether or not
it is interested
in starting the
necessary
registration
procedure with
the Peruvian
Trademark
Office.
e. Attaché
Service
Our Firm assigns
a regular and a
deputy lawyer to
each client, to
manage its
industrial
property
portfolio. The
idea is to have
our lawyers
become familiar
with the
trademarks,
patents,
industrial
designs or
utility models
of the client
and detect any
sign of
infringement by
third parties.
f.
Procedures
Our
legal team is
fully capable of
planning our
clients’
Industrial
Property defense
strategies, and
of starting and
successfully
completing all
kinds of
procedures
related to these
issues with the
competent
administrative
and judicial
authorities in
the country.
Some of the
procedures that
can be filed
with regard to
industrial
property matters
include:
registration,
renewal,
cancellation,
and nullity
procedures,
infringement
accusations,
etc.
g.
Advisory
services
Our clients
receive
preventive
advice to
protect their
industrial
property rights.

questions that
our clients may
have in relation
to industrial
property
matters. This

INFRINGEMENT OF
INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY RIGHTS:
TRADEMARKS,
PATENTS,
COPYRIGHTS
The
Intellectual
Property
Practice Group
is comprised of
a team of

broad experience
in the fight
against piracy

forgery.

that provide

facilities,
including
illegal imports
and exports.
Our services
include the
design of a
strategy to
jointly cope,
both on a retail
and wholesale
basis, with
piracy and
product forgery
in order to
discourage this
illegal
activity.
The actions we
may take include
the filing of
criminal
proceedings with
the different
judicial
authorities or
the filing of
