Description
Recent innovations in the fields of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), mechanical and electrical engineering or biochemistry have led to the development of brand new types of tools with broad potential application in the medical field.
These technologies are fundamentally changing the paradigms of the medical profession with new ways to exchange information between patients and doctors, or new technical solutions to specific diseases. This evolution has created unique opportunities for the development of new medical devices to be used for diagnostic, monitoring and therapeutic purposes.
In this context, intellectual capital plays a crucial role, and knowing the implications and benefits of intellectual property (IP) is vital to identify new business opportunities, keep your business healthy and wealthy and avoid other’s rights infringements, among others.
Nevertheless, holders must be aware that such rights can be geographically limited and, therefore, subject to further protection if they are planning to enter foreign markets.
Join the Latin America IP SME Helpdesk to know more about the main issues concerning the protection of intellectual property to bear in mind when internationalizing a business. Special attention will be then given to the idiosyncrasies of IP protection in Brazil, Argentina, Colombia and Mexico and its differences compared to Europe.
