As a consequence of new criteria in the implementations of the rules of procedure, the
Mexican Patent Office is requesting that the certified Inventor Assignments be
stamped with the Apostille of the Hague Convention.
This requirement is based in article 9, fraction IX, of the already applicable Regulation of the Intellectual Property Law, which had not been applied in the past. However, this has been recently changed and this provision will be requested from now on in relation to assignment
agreements.
