Our approach
We understand intellectual property (IP) as the engine that moves a technology from the lab to the market. We combine legal expertise with technical understanding to make it happen.
We are Covarrubias, an intellectual property and technology consultancy based in Santiago, Chile. Since 2010, we have been helping individuals, start-ups, companies, and universities to protect, capitalise on, and defend their innovations and technological developments.
We understand intellectual property (IP) as the engine that moves a technology from the lab to the market. We combine legal expertise with technical understanding to make it happen.
We have put together a team that is quite unusual in the legal world: professionals who are experts in marketing, advertising, design, engineering, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology and software. Because to protect a technology effectively, you first need to understand it.
The scope of our practice encompasses patents, trademarks, domain names, copyright, new technologies, health regulations, and related litigation.
We work with startups, corporations, universities and international firms that want to shield their competitive edge from day one and project their assets across Chile and Latin America.
We have a strong international network built over years of close collaboration, allowing us to support both local clients protecting their assets abroad and international clients in the management, monitoring and defense of their assets in Chile and Latin America.



Legal 500, Chambers & Partners, IP Stars, WTR 1000, IAM Patent 1000 and Leaders League have consistently recognised Covarrubias as one of the strongest intellectual property and technology firms in Chile.

We are the On-Switch of our clients' innovation. And we've been pressing the button for over 15 years.
