From trademarks to patents, here’s why a solid intellectual property strategy is essential for U.S. companies targeting Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, and beyond.
As U.S. businesses continue to scale internationally, Latin America is becoming a high-priority region for expansion — especially for tech, consumer goods, and healthcare companies. But while market potential is strong, one area remains critically underestimated: intellectual property (IP) protection.
Whether it's trademarks in Mexico, patent filings in Brazil, or enforcing online brand rights across the region, U.S. companies are learning that a proactive IP strategy isn’t optional — it’s foundational.
Latin America Is Not One Market — It’s Many
Each country in Latin America operates under its own IP framework. For example:
Brazil’s INPI has distinct procedures for patents and trademarks, and enforcement often depends on local counsel.
Mexico has implemented important updates to its IP Law in recent years, impacting brand owners.
Argentina and Uruguay present unique opportunities, but also legal and procedural nuances.
Having a trusted local partner is key. Moeller IP, with offices in Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, and Uruguay, has been helping international clients navigate these complexities for decades. Learn more about our services across the region
Trademarks, Patents, and Enforcement in the Digital Era
The shift to digital commerce — especially after the pandemic — has brought IP risks to the forefront. From counterfeit products to cybersquatting and unauthorized brand use on marketplaces, U.S. brands face mounting challenges.
At Moeller IP, our team offers tailored support for:
Trademark filings and opposition monitoring
Patent prosecution and strategic portfolio management
Online brand enforcement and anti-counterfeiting

Why U.S. Companies Are Acting Now
Waiting until infringement occurs is costly. The most successful global companies take a preventive, not reactive, approach to IP in Latin America. That means registering early, monitoring constantly, and adapting locally.
If you’re expanding — or already operating — in Latin America, it’s time to protect what makes your business valuable.
