Together with his litigation team, he developed a legal strategy to standardise the validity of patents in Mexico, which ended with the recognition of a historical criterion (2020–2021) in terms of patents by the Supreme Court of Justice, and which establishes that patents cannot be valid for less than 17 years from their granting.
