By PPO Abogados
The new Board of Directors of the Bolivian Association of Intellectual Property (ABPI) was elected in General Assembly and will be in office until October 2024.
The board is formed by President Dr. Marcos Mercado, Vice-President Dr. Pilar Soruco, Secretary Dr. Perla Koziner and Treasurer Dr. Giovanna Gismondi.
"The new Board of Directors of ABPI has the goal of opening its doors to new professionals who practice this legal area in Bolivia, interacting with its peers nationally and internationally, and becoming an interlocutor of the private sector with the State in intellectual property matters,” stated Marcos Mercado.
Pilar Soruco, who has been President of the aforementioned association in past administrations and currently leads the Intellectual Property team of PPO Abogados, mentioned that the ABPI needs to push changes and modifications in legal provisions. “We need to update our presence in the world of Intellectual Property, counting on precise and correct rules that lead us to a real use of technologies and economy growth.”
