Gómez-Pinzón Abogados (GPA)’s IP practice ‘always looks for ways to contribute to the achievement of the client’s objectives’, according to satisfied clients. With a focus on the financial services, life sciences, TMT, education, and food-and-beverage sectors, the group handles an array of patent and trade mark prosecution, IP portfolio management matters, copyright-related issues and IP litigation. Department co-head Juanita Pérez is a ’great leader’ with a focus on the international management and administration of IP portfolios; she recently represented Grupo Éxito in obtaining a trade mark for its “SURTIMAX” brand. Fellow co-head Mauricio Jaramillo additionally leads the competition practice; he recently advised TIS Productions Colombia and Walt Disney on IP matters. The team further benefits from a sizable band of senior associates, including Catalina Arango, who supports on advisory and litigation work; Valentina Manrique Gómez, whose practice spans IP, competition and consumer protection; and Juan Pablo Chaparro Torres, who sits in both the competition and IP teams.
