El Salvador: Pioneering Intellectual Property, Innovation, and Business Environment
By Eproint
El Salvador is looking to emerge as a country that fosters favorable business climate by promoting innovation and protecting intellectual property rights. Recently, the National Registry Center (CNR) and the Export and Investment Promotion Agency (PROESA) signed a cooperation agreement, solidifying the country's commitment to attracting foreign investment and facilitating the export of locally produced goods and services to global markets.
This collaboration aims to create transparent and reliable business environments, driving economic growth and empowering Salvadoran businesses on the international stage.
The CNR, as an autonomous entity responsible for intellectual property registration, plays a role in safeguarding and promoting intellectual property rights. Through the cooperation agreement with PROESA, the CNR will provide support to foreign investors and local businesses seeking to establish intellectual property-intensive ventures. This includes access to comprehensive registry and cadastral information, online consultations on commercial documents, business registration and financial statements, intellectual property data, as well as training and advisory services.
PROESA, in its commitment to fostering economic growth, will actively promote the export of goods and services produced in El Salvador. By evaluating and monitoring the business climate, PROESA will identify opportunities for improvement in investment and export policies.
The signing of this cooperation agreement is a significant step forward for El Salvador's overall business environment.
