Amid the COVID-19 emergency, we are actively taking measures to adjust to the rapidly evolving news and to continue assisting our clients in a regular manner without risking our personnel’s well-being.



Below some relevant considerations in connection with the Mexican authorities associated to intellectual property:


• Mexican Institute of Industrial Property: Currently open. All deadlines are active.


• Federal Court of Administrative Justice, Collegiate Courts and District Judges: Closed. No procedural terms are active until April 17, 2020. Until further notice, activities and procedural terms will restart on April 20, 2020.
