What’s Said about us?
Pan-Caribbean
“Cross-jurisdictional IP cases are bread and butter for Eproint; the IP boutique boasts unbeatable regional coverage from the Caribbean to South America, being fully acquainted with the workings of over 40 Latin American legal systems. As a result, the group has become counsel of choice for multinational marquee clients and has established itself as a top IP authority in the sub-continent – a status well-earned by duo Aaron Montero and Gabriela Bodden. A prominent brand guru, founding partner Montero has a keen eye for asset commercialisation, while IP all-rounder Bodden anchors the international practice with her unrivalled Caribbean expertise.”
“The team led by Gabriela Bodden and Aaron Montero is particularly active in the consumer goods, pharmaceuticals and luxury goods industries. Bodden has a particularly strong track record in clearance searches and trade mark prosecution, as well as advising on IP matters related to medical cannabis. The preparation and filing of patent applications makes up the majority of Montero’s work in this field of law.”
“Well-regarded boutique firm with significant experience within the IP ambit. Recognised for working on trade mark registrations. Handles cross-border mandates and regularly manages regional portfolios, with a strong presence in the Caribbean. Also adept in contentious mandates, dealing with IP litigation and anti-counterfeiting cases.Strengths One interviewee notes: “They are an excellent firm, dedicated purely to IP with great professionals.”
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.”
Notable practitioners
“In addition to co-managing the firm’s IP department, founding partner Aaron Montero is noted for his activity in this practice area. He is described by a commentator as “an excellent professional.”
“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.”
“Central America”
“Gabriela Bodden and Vanessa Castro: Patent and Trademark Stars
Aaron Montero: Patent Star.”
“Their strength is their proficiency and expertise on IP legislation and practices covering the whole Central America and Caribbean region”
“…one of IP’s finest..”
