In December 2025, the Anti-Counterfeiting and Anti-Piracy Department of Bhering Advogados, in cooperation with state law enforcement authorities, took part in two search and seizure operations carried out in different regions of Brazil.

On December 3, an operation was conducted in Downtown São Paulo at a warehouse and a retail store, in partnership with the 1st DIG/DEIC (1st General Investigations Division of the State Department of Criminal Investigations). The action resulted in the seizure of 911 infringing products, including resin statues, keychains, mugs, notebooks, pens, planners, clothing, accessories, and toys.

On December 11, Bhering Advogados participated in an operation carried out in the municipality of Carlos Barbosa, in the interior of the State of Rio Grande do Sul, at a children’s footwear manufacturing facility and its respective retail outlet/warehouse. The action was conducted by officers of the Consumer Protection Police Division of DEIC/RS and resulted in the seizure of approximately 17,000 pairs of footwear, as well as materials used in the manufacturing process.

Through a strategic and collaborative approach, the Department works closely with competent authorities to strengthen enforcement measures, combat counterfeiting and piracy, and protect intellectual property rights, contributing to the suppression of the unlawful commercialization of illicit products in the Brazilian market.
