International clients
Your strategic partner for the protection of your intellectual property rights in Paraguay.
Paraguay is not a member of the Madrid Protocol or the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT). As a general rule, protecting foreign trademarks and patents therefore requires filing national applications before the National Directorate of Intellectual Property (DINAPI), through a local agent.
AYALA IP advises companies, rights holders and foreign law firms on the protection, management and enforcement of their intellectual property assets in Paraguay, acting as their local point of contact and accompanying each matter through every stage of the proceedings.
