- In terms of trademark matters, a total of 2,034 applications were filed, including trademark applications and commercial slogans.
- Abroad, we coordinated the filing of 446 applications through various correspondents.
- In Mexico, 642 applications were filed, including patent, utility model and industrial design applications.

- A&L oversees more than 800 litigation procedures through different legal instances. Our firm is particularly active with regard to the defense of our clients’ rights through actions brought before IMPI, the FGR and Customs.
Trademark and patent filing are part of our services and processes; however, our main goal is to bring about with each of them a benefit that would translate into the achievements of our customers’ companies, no matter their size. All their projects are important to us and we make them part of our daily work.
That is why we are proud to share some of the success stories we have accomplished for some of our clients.
