ABOUT UNION ANDINA DE PATENTES IN LATIN AMERICA

Union Andina de Patentes was founded back in 1993 as an organization of intellectual property attorneys. Our goal was to create a place that would provide an ultimate solution to companies in need of an international plan of intellectual property protection. This implies unifying trademark services, invention patents and other concerns related on a

regional level all around Latin America. Distinctly from other trademark and patent services providers, our business structure allows us to work as a hub organization. This means you won’t have to contact intellectual property attorneys in each country you want to register or protect a creation.
