Known for its ‘deep knowledge on the subject�� and housing ’lawyers specialised in intellectual property, focused on the practice of advising national and foreign clients’, the IP department at Bello, Gallardo, Bonequi y García, S.C. is a reliable choice for portfolio management and protection. In August 2022 the team bolstered the breadth of its offering with the hire of senior associate Romeo Chora from Dumont, who has taken on leadership of the patent subgroup, as well as adding litigation strength regarding patent infringement. Chora joins a sizeable team that includes the ‘very diligent’ client favourite, Jonathan Rangel, one of the go-to experts in Mexico for the use of IP rights in the digital field; he frequently works in close conjunction with the firm’s TMT sector group. Rangel co-leads the IP team with Lilia Aguilar, whose practice focuses on IP portfolio management and protection for both domestic and international companies. Senior associate Juan Carlos Salazar has a strong focus on litigation regarding trade marks, domain names and copyright. Since publication, the firm has hired copyright and IT specialist Ricardo Sánchez Gil (formerly at González Rossi Abogados) as overall practice head – effective as of January 2024.
