about different products and services, with correct specification of quantity, characteristics, composition, quality, and price, as well as the risks they represent. This, of course, includes food services offered by suppliers in accordance with the Law. In this sense, a Supplier is considered to be a natural or legal person, within the terms of the Federal Civil Code, who regularly or periodically offers, distributes, sells, leases, or grants the use or enjoyment of goods, products, and services. This includes catering and food services. Pursuant to Article 7 of the Law, all suppliers are required to inform and respect the prices, rates, guarantees, quantities, qualities, measurements, interest, charges, terms, deadlines, dates, methods, reservations, and other conditions under which the delivery of the goods or provision of the service has been offered, obligated, or agreed upon with the consumer. Under no circumstances will these goods or services be denied to any person. Likewise, the supplier is required to clearly and conspicuously display the total amount payable for the goods, products, or services offered to the consumer. This amount must include taxes, fees, interest, insurance, and any other additional costs, charges, expenses, or disbursements that must be covered in connection with the respective purchase or contract, whether in cash or on credit. c. Intellectual property. According to the legal provisions applicable in Mexico, and in line with Lucía Iglesias Kuntz’s argument, the registration of dishes or recipes in Mexico is done within the framework of a cultural practice that, at a given time, involves a dish or gastronomic tradition. Recipes as such are not registrable as works of authorship or as cultural heritage, in accordance with Article 14 of the Federal Copyright Law, which establishes that ideas in themselves, formulas, solutions, concepts, methods, systems, principles, discoveries, processes, and inventions of any kind are not subject to copyright protection. Likewise, the following are not registrable: • The industrial or commercial exploitation of the ideas contained in the works; • Diagrams, plans, or rules for performing mental acts, games, or business dealings; • Isolated letters, digits, or colors, unless their stylization is such that they become original drawings; • Isolated names, titles, or phrases; 720 OSCAR CRUZ BARNEY
