Mexico’s new Industrial Property Law heralds an improved system for the country’s IP owners in almost every area, says Christian Thomae of Dumont.
November 5, 2020, marked the date on which Mexico adopted the new Federal Law for the Protection of Industrial Property. This repealed the previous law that had been in force for 25 years and had been subject to several amendments. The new US-Mexico-Canada Agreement, which replaces the North American Free Trade Agreement made it necessary to reorganise and update the Mexican IP system, as to allow for a smooth implementation of the renegotiated trade agreement.
