“Gabriela Bodden and Vanessa Castro: Patent and Trademark Stars
Aaron Montero: Patent Star.”

“Market Feedback on the team”

“They have people dedicated to the IP business. They are very strong in the flexibility and reliability. The ease and speed of communication is very good. They speak excellent English which is very important in this international area”

“An outstanding cohort of associates at the firm take inspiration from Gabriella Bodden and Aaron Montero. Bodden brings incredible international expertise to the practice and is brilliant at getting things done in the Caribbean and other locales. Meanwhile, Montero is a patent and trademark ace and a veritable IPauthority.”

“I think it is not very helpful to go through any US firm when dealing with Latin American countries. I do not see any advantage. It is always my approach to go directly into a country, which is why we use Eproint”

Costa Rica

“Unbeatable in terms of its coverage of the Central American and Caribbean regions, Eproint excels at delivering sophisticated and customised cross-border IP strategies to well-known international brands. Especially strong when it comes to trademarks – but proficient in all areas of intellectual property – the team renders commercially astute advice and proves itself not only efficient handling routine matters but also highly adept at dealing with complex trademark issues, such as designation of origin disputes and non-traditional trademark protection.”

“Gabriela Bodden co-heads the department and possesses know-how across a range of IP matters, with strong experience handling trade mark registration across the Caribbean region. Market sources describe her as “key to the firm.” Another commentator remarks that “she has a strong background in IP and is successful at attracting clients.”

“They are very reliable and efficient. Their strength is their proficiency and expertise on IP legislation and practices covering the whole Central America and Caribbean region”

“IP boutique E-Proint collaborates with the firm’s offices in Belize, Honduras, Guatemala, the Dominican Republic and the Cayman Islands to provide large and small companies with intellectual property services, covering trademarks and patents, health registrations and customs issues.”

“They are excellent”

“The Legal 500 2012 ranks the group as top tier.”
