In collaboration with the Central American Bank for Economic Integration (CABEI) and ClarkeModet.

Central America offers high strategic potential as a multi-country region, yet often overlooked:

• With a combined GDP placing it among the top four economies in Latin America, its economic growth outpaces the regional average by over 50%
• Home to over 53 million people, it represents the third-largest population cluster in Latin America, after Brazil and Mexico
• The region sees the highest number of foreign trademark filings in Latin America, reflecting strong international interest across its multiple jurisdictions

Despite perceived complexity.

The region is highly integrated — 95% share Spanish, regional institutions (SICA), economic frameworks (CACM), and Key markets: Guatemala, Panama, and Costa Rica cover over 75% of the regional economy.

With important key insights and updates to know:

• Industrial Property is governed by Central American community law (SICA).
• Six Spanish-speaking countries belong to the PCT patent system.
• Costa Rica agreement implications as European Patent validation country
• El Salvador has introduced a new IP Law.
• The region is a strategic trade hub connecting to the U.S., Mexico, and the Andean Community.

These insights will be presented in collaboration with the Central American Bank for Economic Integration (CABEI) and ClarkeModet, combining economic and IP expertise to help you navigate the region efficiently

What you will learn:
• Discover Central America’s market potential and IP opportunities.
• Build an efficient regional IP strategy.
• Gain practical recommendations to streamline operations and enhance protection, guided by CABEI and ClarkeModet.
