Intellectual Property
Intellectual property drives business transformation and technological innovation. Protecting it in a connected and digital world is challenging. Specialized legal advice is essential to safeguard a company’s intellectual property.
With over 25 years of experience in corporate law, our team is specialized and multidisciplinary, serving companies with sector-specific knowledge. We assist in protecting trademarks, patents, copyrights, trade secrets, and related areas. We act before the INPI (Brazilian National Institute of Industrial Property) or the judiciary, addressing issues like unfair competition, patent invalidity, trademarks, industrial designs, and others.
Our practice covers:
We provide advice on various aspects of intellectual property protection. This includes drafting opinions on trademark use, patentability of inventions or utility models, and copyright infringement analyses. We also draft and negotiate licensing, assignment, sponsorship, technology transfer, and software development contracts. Additionally, we handle contracts with influencers and celebrities for rights assignment.
We assist in advertising and digital marketing, including administrative processes before the National Council for Advertising Self-Regulation (CONAR), the Brazilian Network Information Center (NIC.BR), or the Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency (ANVISA). We work on protecting and registering industrial property assets such as trademarks, industrial designs, patents, domain names, and software. We also assist with procedures and applications for registering well-known trademarks.
We handle administrative and judicial disputes related to intellectual or industrial property to protect companies’ industrial property. We also address matters involving unfair competition and related crimes.
Our consultants support the management, inventory, and valuation of industrial and intellectual property assets. We map legal risks in the clients’ production and creative processes, adopting control mechanisms and legal safeguards for clients, suppliers, and employees.
We conduct training on industrial property, media, and entertainment, focusing on litigation prevention, third-party rights infringement, and unfair competition.
