BLP

BLP's IP practice wins praise for its ‘comprehensive and strategic approach’ and ’deep legal and technical knowledge’, with an impressive regional offering which makes it a popular choice to advise major multinationals on the management of their trademark, patent and sanitary registration portfolios in Costa Rica and throughout Central America. The team assists a roster of high-profile names in the consumer goods, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, and food and beverage sectors, among others, with the registration, renewal and management of IP assets, as well as related issues such as advertising, data protection, consumer protection and unfair competition. The comprehensive practice also extends to IP enforcement and litigation, with a strong recent track record in trade mark cancellation and opposition proceedings, in addition to anti-counterfeiting cases. Giselle Reuben, a go-to adviser to regional clients on IP registration, protection and litigation, leads the practice alongside Uri Weinstok, who brings to bear additional expertise in competition, data protection and advertising law. The deep bench also includes directors Anel Aguilar, who covers the full range of trade mark, patent and copyright matters, and León Weinstok, a specialist in data protection.
