  • If you are an exporter, you will need to protect your IP in foreign markets.
  • Your U.S. patent or trademark does NOT provide protection in other countries.
  • Foreign counterfeiters may steal your IP and register the material as their own in their country, if you have not already registered it there.
  • Consider seeking trademark and patent protection in large potential markets well in advance of actually exporting to those markets.

Es indudable que absolutamente todos los negocios se han visto afectados de algún modo por la pandemia del COVID-19. Una industria que ha sido particularmente impactada y sacudida por las medidas de prevención ha sido la gastronómica. El concepto de salir a cenar como lo conocíamos lleva seis meses siendo limitado y regulado casi bisemanalmente. Aún así, a los puertorriqueños nos encanta comer fuera. Muchas personas están todo el día trabajando, cuidando bebés, y dándoles clases a sus niños desde su casa. Hemos cocinado más que nunca. Nuestras vidas sociales se han circunscrito a nuestro núcleo familiar. Pero sigue siendo un excelente cariñito decirle a alguien: no cocines, te invito a cenar. Los brunch, almuerzos y hasta las cenas románticas siguen existiendo, como el amor y la energía, no desaparecen: se transforman.
