Practice Areas

Intellectual Property infringements occur when a third party uses protected rights—such as trademarks, patents, utility models, industrial designs, or copyrights—without proper authorization. In Argentina, such conduct may give rise to civil, administrative, or even criminal actions, depending on the applicable legal framework.

Infringements by third parties:
Timely detection and response to an infringement is essential to prevent the loss of value of an intangible asset, halt commercial damage, and preserve exclusive rights over the use and exploitation of protected IP. Available actions may include cease-and-desist letters, precautionary measures, extra judicial and judicial actions for infringement, opposition filings, and coordination with customs authorities or regulatory bodies. An appropriate legal strategy enables swift and effective defense of the rights holder’s interests.

Prevention of client-side infringement:
Just as it is important to enforce registered rights, it is equally vital to prevent new applications from infringing pre-existing rights. To that end, we conduct patentability analysis, prior rights searches, and legal risk evaluations before filing a trademark, patent, design, or other IP right. These actions help anticipate conflicts, avoid challenges, and ensure a strong and secure protection strategy from the outset.
