BLP remains a market leader, employing the full bench strength of offices in San José, Puntarenas, Guanacaste and Marina Flamingo, in addition to branches across Latin America and Europe, to advise global household names including adidas, Bayer and Sony, on the management, licensing and enforcement of their international intellectual property portfolios. With an active client base spanning such sectors as pharmaceuticals, apparel, entertainment, food and beverages, education, tech and financial services, the practice’s full offering covers matters involving trade marks, copyrights and sanitary registrations, in addition to complex patent prosecutions, cross-border registration reports, the seizure of counterfeit goods, third-party infringements and the assignment of rights. The practice is headed by Giselle Reuben, who brings expertise to the anti-counterfeiting litigation practice, and Uri Weinstok, who draws on a multidisciplinary skill set to manage IP issues related to competition and antitrust law and advertising. Other key figures include directors León Weinstok, who specialises in IP data protection matters, and Anel Aguilar, who handles complex trade mark filing strategies.
