The IP team at Aguilar Castillo Love takes advantage of the firm’s regional structure to advise major multinationals on the registration and renewal of their trade mark and patent portfolios in Honduras and throughout Central America, frequently joining up with the firm’s other offices. The firm enjoys a particularly strong presence in the food and beverages and retail sectors, but also counts household names from the pharmaceutical, telecoms and banking industries among its clients. IP litigation and advice on the IP aspects of licensing, distribution and franchising are other key pillars of the practice. Juan José Alcerro Milla, who represents leading local and international clients across the full spectrum of IP matters, leads the team with Carolina Aguirre Larios.
