Our
team is formed by lawyers and trademark administrators with great
experience in all aspects of national
and international trademark legislation. While
continuously evolving, we seek legal instruments capable of solving
crucial cases in a practical and commercially feasible
manner. As
an example, we try to establish the potential
of distinctiveness
of a mark compared to other prior ones, with the purpose of advising
the client on possible reductions in the legal costs of the protection.
The vast experience includes legal advice in commercial issues related
to the protection of marks, such as promotional
dissemination, the likelihood of confusion generated by
similar packaging,
and the use of the marks in the consumers’
relations.
Sometimes it is also possible to enhance trademark protection by means
of copyright protection, claims of unfair competition and advertising
self-regulation (CONAR), among others.
We handle thousands of
trademark applications and registrations filed in Brazil and abroad.
Our clients are of various sizes and origins, ranging from
international ports entities and companies of the automotive industry
to service companies in the field of clothing, food,
telecommunications, computers, entertainment and others.
With our watching service,
we are able to continuously monitor the issues of the Official Gazette
published by the Brazilian PTO. Thus, we inform our clients about the
publication of potentially conflicting marks and, whenever authorized,
we take the applicable measures to prevent registration of the same. If
necessary, we can also monitor the media for the undue use of marks, as
well as the publication of conflicting marks in other countries.
