IMPI Agreement of March 23, 2020

The Mexican Institute of Industrial Property (IMPI) has issued an agreement providing that deadlines will not run from March 24 to April 19, 2020. The interruption and suspension of deadlines will not apply to those proceedings that are necessary to contribute to mitigating the effects of the pandemic or, where applicable, to lift provisional measures imposed in an infringement proceeding.

IMPI will remain open. It will be possible to file applications and submissions during said period, and they will be deemed made on the next following business day (April 20, 2020).
