With María Cecilia Romoleroux, Francisco Gallegos and chemical engineer Gabriel Kuri (head of patents) at the helm, the team is retained by a range of high-profile companies such as IKEA, AstraZeneca, Crocs and Uber to advise on relevant matters. The leadership team is supported by two individuals at the associate level: Katherine González has previous experience as director of oppositions at the Ecuadorian IP office, while Eduardo Ríos stands out for the enforcement of IP rights.
