How to eSign a document: eSignature licitness for Assignment of intellectual property in Mexico

you have many years experience in IPA Mexico back in 2016 in your article amendments to granted patents a vital tool to strengthen claims written for the international law office you stated patent laws and patent prosecution criteria worldwide had changed considerably in the past few years have you seen the current Koba 19 situation contributing even more changes to pen laws and patent prosecution criteria in the last few months I may say that this outbreak has definitely to rebuild that changes are not only needed but are urgent especially important laws particulate e particularly in my country Mexico I must mention that despite the fact that important and very fruitful changes have been made not only in the legislation but also in operational matters of the practice of the patent prosecution such as the extension of the validity of industrial designs designs that have been extended to 25 years the protection and also in the mexican institute of industrial property and there has been a technological revolution by taking the paperless policy and this has been implemented and nowadays management of a neutral property models and models can already be carried out almost hundred percent online so they come civilization of changes is still imperative bigger are more significant that a low phase in this type of health emergencies that we are experiencing the patents in this type of health issues become more protagonists than in any other scenario this is where combination stickiness unfortunate to discover alternatives and improvements in all aspects that involve a patent from the filing to its even the licensing the licensing is precisely in this outbreak that were experiencing the most important and the articles of the law that are relevant to the compulsory and public utility licenses in this area copied 19 is reminding us that our reform is urgent a change in the legislation on licensing unless in Mexico is very urgent in fact since the middle of last year in Mexico not only changes in industrial property law has been Assembly copy 19 rights and therefore we are facing a tremendous opportunity to reflect the necessary changes in the new law that is being heads Mexico exercised the right for compulsory licensing during the time look actually not compulsory but more utility licenses in fact is very interesting that what you remember the last outbreak the flu the h1n1 is very curious because here in Mexico the Mexican Institute didn't approve the utility licenses because they said that there were not the conditions enough to be fulfilled in order to declare or to make a declaration but now that we have all the conditions we discovered that the patent the Mexican law has a very big failure because the Mexican law says that the Mexican Institute has 90 days to analyze the prospect in order to declare if you are able to use a utility license so 90 days now with too much time now is craziness that is why it is very urgent to reform it descends specifically this article so the main problem is that there is not a patent there is not a technology now for the boxing in order to exploit it so they are we are we're only trying to search the technology is available in order to try to manufacture a vaccine absolutely fancy you are an intellectual property engineer BC MB and you used to freelance as an intellectual property counsel have you seen this Koba 19 situation having a financial impact and IP stakeholders and especially you specifically focus your your practice on the oil industry have you seen any financial impact in that industry in particular it is undoubtedly well not only loyal but for example now in my my activity in the last two weeks we have received a lot of requests from IP stakeholders for discounts on IP services rates also they have request tests a lot of investment projection for the rest of the year in order that they can short shorten in their their investments so of course this request reflect a financial concern of the on the IP stakeholders for example here in Mexico or well not only in Mexico not the word there the oil price now do you know that it it went well down so of course for the users was a was a great person great news now because we can enjoyed it for example the gasoline with low rates but but of course the economical impact is the second most concern that we are facing now just last April here in Mexico there were more than 500,000 job losses specifically here in Mexico as you may aware and there are a lot of manufacturing industries and the manufacturing industry depends a lot in labor in the physical assistance of employees to produce the products also I think it is under flee this economical impact and for the other side the pharmaceutical industry in contrast I think they have a big opportunity a big opportunity in order to as we were discussing not to to look for a new tillage license or to look for the technologies to try to to make a vaccine to collaborate to collaborate with other countries scientists and maybe they can obtain better economical impact or positive results due to the high demand of the vaccine and the medicaments that the doctors are currently using to treat the Cobbett 19 people who are suffering considering a year solid experience in IP filings in mexico US canada DPO and australia do you see the current situation having an impact on international collaboration it's it is centrally appreciated from the fact that supplies even are shared between countries either al for example collaborates with doctors to the country of Honduras China have donated us masks tests kids and breeders to to Mexico other example is us us donates cuts to the governments of Philippine so although that they are technologies in the public domain they are not patterns as bullying the collaboration of the exhaustive and accelerated research and development is being done in several countries and it has increased very much also trying try to discover the vaccine now it is evident even in political relations it has a positive impact because I was amazed when I when I discovered that when I wrote this article that says that Australia and South Korea they break the coldness to the cool religion that they were suffering for many many years and now they are cooperating positively to face this pandemic so I think copied 19 has sparked international collaboration in the search for patents and technology development to find the vaccine even in 30 seconds or less you have a lot of experience in the IP sector in Mexico and working internationally what would you say to the pan professionals around the world moving forward what use you'd expect can can be seen thank you thanks so much well I think unfortunately in general copy 19 is telling us that the world is not prepared technically nor in low terms and the IP loss as well as IP prosecution urge for a big change and quick response for this type of world issue we are living also I think the companies are learning that the intangible assets are more than important particularly now in spite of the technological revolution that we have lived during the last two or three decades there is a long road to work to face properly this kind of health issues
