Jesus Sanchelima (Born May 26, 1949, Havana, Cuba) is a Cuban-American Lawyer. He is a graduate of the University of Miami. He is considered by many to be an expert in Intellectual Property Laws in Cuba. As a frequent speaker on the subject, he has given dozens of lectures about Intellectual Property relations with Cuba. In 1997, he participated in the group of attorneys that went to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba as part of a humanitarian visit. The group documented living conditions on the island and advocated for reforms upon their return to the United States. He was voted Secretary of the Cuban American Bar Association in 2001. And as of 2008, Sanchelima has continued to seek reform for relations with Cuba through many organizations, including ASIPI, INTA, CABA, etc. Thanks to his network of foreign associates, Sanchelima has created a virtual worldwide firm to take advantage of the rights and privileges afforded by multinational conventions. Sanchelima, more recently, represented Havana Club in regards to an infringement of naming rights a business in Cuba has with a business in the United States. Sanchelima remarks, "it is a flaw in our system, when others can take advantage of an earned trademark because of an embargo".
