What we do
We work alongside the company's commercial and legal management so that each contract reflects the business and protects the asset.
- Licence agreements for trademarks, patents, designs, software and copyright, exclusive or non-exclusive.
- Assignments and transfers of intellectual property rights, and their recordal before DINAPI.
- Coexistence and delimitation agreements between trademarks.
- Franchise, distribution and technology transfer agreements with an IP component.
- Intellectual property and confidentiality clauses in employment, development and service agreements.
- Due diligence of intangible assets in corporate and investment transactions.
Why the contract matters
A good intellectual property contract defines precisely what is licensed or assigned, in which territory, for how long, with what exclusivity and for what consideration; it regulates quality control, use of the mark, ownership of improvements and what happens when the relationship ends. Those definitions prevent most later disputes.
In Paraguay, recordal of licences and assignments before DINAPI is relevant for the act to be enforceable against third parties and for use by the licensee to count as use of the mark. We align the drafting of the contract with the formal requirements of that recordal.
For international clients and foreign associates
We adapt international licence or distribution agreements to Paraguayan law, review governing law and jurisdiction clauses, and set out the documentary requirements for their implementation in Paraguay. We also handle the recordal before DINAPI of licences and transfers of intellectual property rights by foreign owners.
