Paulo Afonso Pereira - Propriedade Intelectual

The literary work’s registration is facultative in Brazil. The author’s declaratory registration does not give a right but only an author’s copyright presumption. If it is not contested it will have a 70 years expire date and gives the author, creator, translator, researcher or artist powers to control the piece of work’s use.

However, once this legal area has many controversies, the definition of a protection strategy for literary works, artistic or Scientifics are very important.

To assure your client’s peace of mind, the Paulo Afonso Pereira Intellectual Property keeps a specialized team capable to conduct an efficient and planned process looking always for the best result and not only to the initial expectation. With a work based in planning and pro-activity it is possible to establish with certain precision the patrimonial and moral prerogatives about the most diverse kind of works.

The author’s copyright to any kind of intellectual work grant moral and patrimonial rights. The moral rights are inalienable and end the paternity and integrity rights of the work, for example. The patrimonial rights determine the control about the work’s reproduction, edition and translation, among others.
