Eproint

Widely regarded as a market leader for IP law in Costa Rica, specialist firm Eproint handles the full spectrum of trade mark, patent and copyright matters, from prosecution through to litigation and transactions involving IP rights. The ‘excellent’ team’s ability to join up with the firm’s extensive network of offices throughout Central America and the Caribbean is a significant asset for regional and international clients, including key players from the pharmaceuticals, entertainment, technology, food and beverages and hospitality sectors, to name but a few. The firm now benefits from the expertise of six partners, following the arrivals of María Del Pilar López, a renowned expert in anti-counterfeiting actions and data protection law, and Simon Valverde and Luis Diego Castro, both of whom have a wealth of experience in patent prosecution and litigation, from Arias in June 2024. Founding partner Aaron Montero, who routinely advises on the protection of clients’ regional IP portfolios, and joint managing partner Gabriela Bodden, a key adviser on trade marks, patents and cannabis law, round out the leadership group. Seasoned IP practitioner Carlos Corrales and senior associate Karla Corrales, who coordinates the national IP department, are also noted.
