Mexico's Institute of Industrial Property

Mexico's Institute of Industrial Property (IMPI) is a significant regulatory body within Mexico, responsible for overseeing industrial property rights, including trademarks, patents, and geographical indications.

Important Events

Recently, IMPI's decisions have come under scrutiny from U.S. dairy groups. These groups have raised concerns about proposed changes that would reduce the period allowed for challenging a geographical indication to just 30 days. This proposal has generated debate and discussion among stakeholders in the dairy industry, both in Mexico and internationally.
