A look at two legal forums our Partner Rubén Rivas participated in this month, addressing topics ranging from the protection of intangible assets to dispute resolution.

When technology changes the landscape

At the First National Regional Congress on Civil, Family, and Administrative Litigation Law in Guatemala, our Partner Rubén Rivas participated in the forum:

Intellectual Property and New Technologies

Judicial Criteria for the Protection of Intangible Assets 

He shared the forum with Ennio Paolo Archila Valle, Representative of the Intellectual Property Registry of the Ministry of Economy, moderated by Américo Salatiel Girón Reyes, Legal Advisor to the Judicial Studies School of the Judicial Branch of Guatemala.

The incorporation of new technologies presents scenarios that require a closer look at how rights over intangible assets are interpreted, protected, and enforced. 

The forum provided an opportunity to bring these issues together through legal practice and the criteria taking shape within the judicial sphere. 

New ways to resolve disputes

At the First Salvadoran Congress on Private Law, Arbitration, and Investment, organized by Abogados Red, our Partner Rubén Rivas delivered a presentation on Dispute Wise.

The discussion addressed innovative and efficient approaches that different jurisdictions are exploring to resolve disputes, with a focus that goes beyond the conflict itself. 

Dispute Wise focuses on alternatives for addressing a dispute: 

Dispute 

How can it be resolved?

• Efficiently

• By reducing strain

• While preserving commercial relationships
