In addition to establishing, protecting and enforcing Intellectual Property rights, it is extremely important that the valuable assets are managed correctly and in a structured manner in order to ensure efficient commercial exploitation and preservation of the rights.

Here are just some examples where specific knowledge of the process and regulations are crucial in the protection of our clients’ interests:

Remittances abroad of royalties derived from license or technology transfer agreements are only allowed where such contracts are registered with the Brazilian Patent and Trademark Office (BPTO).

Solicitations and other documentation in connection with franchise offers must be written clearly and in conformance with the applicable law, thoroughly considering all the particularities of the marketing segment in question.

In order to protect trade secrets, it is imperative to provide the “terms of confidentiality and non-competition” to all individuals who have contact with protected information.

Our professionals have extensive experience in advising and assisting our clients on the proper and efficient way to manage their intellectual property assets.
