On July 1, 2020, the free trade agreement known as the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) took effect, resulting in new intellectual property protections.
As a result of the USMCA, the Mexican government made several amendments to the country’s Federal Copyright Law and the Federal Criminal Code, including provisions regarding the regulation of rights management information, safe harbors for copyright infringements that are outside the control of internet service providers (ISPs), and the regulation of technical protection measures comprising devices and components.
