Hogan Lovells

Bernardo Herrerías has led Hogan Lovells’ intellectual property offering in Mexico for over 15 years and directs a practice that is relied on by a wealth of multinationals for portfolio management, prosecution and IP litigation. Focusing on the protection, registration, and preservation of all types of IP rights, the department is familiar with a range of sectors, from the patent and design landscape of pharmaceutical products, to copyright in the entertainment industry. Herrerías’s experience in the market covers all types of IP and he has cultivated strong relationships with the patent and trademark office, customs, the office of the attorney general, and other IP-related authorities. In January 2023, Edgar Mata was promoted to counsel and he is the most senior team member after Herrerías. He acts across the full range of the practice group’s workload and has particular experience in cross-border portfolio management. Senior associates José Casillas and Valentina Schmid are also experienced practitioners of note.
