Standing out for its strong track record in precedent-setting trade mark disputes, CorralRosales provides a comprehensive IP service offering, which in addition to trade mark prosecution and opposition matters also covers patents, copyrights, and plant varieties, as well as anti-counterfeiting, franchising, and portfolio management work. On the patents front, the group is adept at advising on cases encompassing pharma patents, utility models and industrial designs. María Cecilia Romoleroux, Francisco Gallegos and Gabriel Kuri head up a team which counts household names from the tech, pharma, consumer goods, entertainment, food and beverage, and fashion sectors as clients. Romoleroux is particularly skilled in trade mark registration and litigation matters; Gallegos is prolific in the life sciences and tech industries; and Kuri, a chemical engineer, is instrumental in patent work. Eduardo Rios focuses on IP litigation and anti-counterfeiting issues. The latter is a key area of expertise for associate Miguel Maigualema.
