We had the pleasure of hosting Ms. Mariana Vargas Macias and Ms. Mariana González Vargas from the firm of Basham, Ringe y Correa, S.C. They provided us with useful information regarding deadlines for submitting declarations of use, non-use cancellation actions involving Madrid Protocol registrations designating Mexico, as well as how official notification differs between non-use cancellation and opposition filings. They also explained how to better make use of the Trademark Office’s official database in addition to clarifying  trademark registration display requirements in Mexico.
