Guanacaste Legal Services - Intellectual Property
Alliance Title provides its clients with high-quality services and knowledge focused on dealing with both traditional and emerging industrial property and copyright issues.
Recent changes in IP legislation have allowed us to provide high value-added services in addition to the IP services traditionally offered in Costa Rica. These changes include the adoption of international treaties in order to effectively protect copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, and other intellectual property assets.
Alliance Title also offers its international related firms network, which can provide IP services in Latin America, Europe and the United States, with the intervention and under the supervision and responsibility of our firm.
Alliance Title offers registration and protection of intellectual property, as well as protection within the client’s company, using tools such as employee confidentiality and non-competition agreements, IP awareness training, intellectual property audits, due diligence, and title searches. We also offer legal advice on agreement negotiation and drafting, acquisitions and disposals, royalty agreements, licensing, and unfair competition.
Together with the firm’s Tax Practice, we provide advisory services to our clients on the appropriate tax treatment for intellectual property assets, in order to effectively manage the tax effects of corporate transactions, such as company mergers and the purchase, sale, or use of IP assets.
These services include our defense of the client before administrative or judicial authorities, as well as in reconciliation and arbitration processes.
Alliance Title also represents, locally or regionally, franchisors and licensers.
