This episode features the audio from Winn Trivette II’s Business Intel Brief synthesizing the 2025 ECLAC (Economic Commission on Latin America and the Caribbean) and WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization) reports to identify the forces shaping 2026 risk and exposure across Latin America.

Through the lens of intellectual property and arbitration, Winn highlights three regional drivers: growth outpacing institutional capacity, IP becoming a central point of value and vulnerability across uneven markets, and escalating disputes — including investor‑state — with Miami serving as a predictable neutral hub.

Country signals include Brazil’s high trademark filings and M&A‑driven complexity, Colombia’s foreign‑owned patent dependence amid energy‑transition policy shifts, Chile’s export surge paired with arbitration exposure, and Argentina’s compressed trademark opposition window and potential PCT alignment.

The episode closes with practical takeaways for cross‑border planning and an invitation to subscribe to Paralegal’s Memo on LinkedIn.
