This month, APLF welcomes another new firm member.
Estudio Colmenares & Asociados (Lima, Peru) is devoted exclusively to global industrial property matters for clients in all areas of law related to patents, trademarks, copyrights, licenses, unfair competition, notorious trademarks and litigation. Recently, they celebrated their 100-year firm anniversary.
We look forward to the firm’s active involvement in APLF live conferences, roundtables, committees and the APLF IP Law Bugle.
NOTE: APLF Roundtable discussions are a free service to APLF member firm attorneys and to in-house counsel involved in IP matters that want to receive very timely and accurate summary information on business-relevant patent law matters.
If you are interested in hosting a roundtable, please email admin@aplf.org. Hosting a roundtable is just one way to get involved with APLF and to increase recognition for your firm or organization.
