What we do
We act at both the administrative and the judicial level, bringing actions or defending our clients' rights, according to the circumstances of each case.
- Oppositions against third-party trademark applications that may create a likelihood of confusion or association with our clients' rights.
- Nullity actions against trademark registrations obtained in breach of the applicable legislation, as well as cancellation actions for non-use.
- Defence of applications and registrations against oppositions and actions brought by third parties.
- Court actions for infringement of trademarks, patents, designs and copyright, including preliminary injunctions.
- Cease-and-desist letters, negotiation of coexistence agreements and settlements.
How we approach each dispute
Before acting we assess the strength of the right, the available evidence, the risks and the client's objectives. Not every dispute requires litigation: a negotiation or an agreement may offer a more efficient solution. When the administrative or judicial route becomes necessary, we define the strategy and prepare the case with particular attention to evidence and to the applicable deadlines.
For international clients and foreign associates
We represent foreign companies, rights holders and law firms in administrative proceedings and court actions concerning Intellectual Property in Paraguay. We take instructions and set out from the outset the requirements, costs and documentation needed for each step.
