Quarterly Theme - Intellectual Property and the Internet THE WRITING REQUIREMENT AND PROOF OF E-CONTRACTS UNDER THE MEXICAN LAW
With this month's newsletter, IBLS is continuing a new quarterly theme on Intellectual Property and the Internet, another very important area of Internet and E-Commerce Law. A selected theme is covered in a special article from the IBLS database and focuses on the licensing of intellectual property rights under the Mexican legislation and legal validity of commercial contracts outside Mexican borders.
The title of this week's summary is "THE WRITING REQUIREMENT AND PROOF OF E-CONTRACTS UNDER THE MEXICAN LAW" and it is written by IBLS Charter Parntner, Jose-Juan Mendez from Alegria Mendez & Fernandez Wond from Mexico.
The following questions have been addressed in this article:
- Does licensing of intellectual property rights require writing under the Mexican legislation?
- What is the legal validity of commercial contracts celebrated outside Mexican borders?
- Can e-contracts or e-records be used as proof in Mexican court proceedings?
Commercial contracts celebrated in Mexican territory are not subject to any formality for its validity, except when expressly required by the Code of Commerce or other Mexican applicable laws (i.e., common law, consumer's protection law, intellectual property laws, etc.) On the other hand, the Mexican legislation has been updated as to allow electronic records as proof in court proceedings.
