Grupo Manbea advises on the management, contracting and protection of trademarks and copyright. Before the Instituto Mexicano de la Propiedad Industrial, it conducts clearance searches and reviews signs, goods and services, prepares registration applications and handles requests and decisions. Its work includes renewals, declarations of use and changes of ownership, as appropriate to the file.
For copyright, the firm reviews authorship, ownership of economic rights and documents relating to literary or artistic works. It prepares and monitors applications to register works and contracts before INDAUTOR. Contractual advice covers licences, transfers of rights and commissioned works, defining permitted uses, territory, duration, consideration and the parties' obligations.
The firm examines permissions to use materials prepared by contributors and suppliers, as well as restrictions that may affect their use. In disputes, it analyses ownership and the history of the disputed use, prepares submissions and responses before the competent authorities and handles the appropriate administrative or judicial procedures. It also assesses the alternative mechanisms available before INDAUTOR.

Intellectual property management requires clarity on owners, registrations, contracts and authorised uses. An inventory helps identify deadlines and differences between what was acquired, licensed and published.
