Paulo Afonso Pereira - Propriedade Intelectual

As happens with the trademarks, the patents registration is vital to protect your intellectual patrimony. It’s through the registration that companies and people defend the investment done in technology and research, reserving for themselves the right to produce, sell, import, license or use process or products resultant from their invention.

The beaurocratic process conduction of the registration follows patronized steps by the INPI - Instituto Nacional de Propriedade Intelectual (Intellectual Property National Institute) and can be done by any person responsible to keep a rigorous agenda of times and dates. However, the registration planning requires the technique and the experience that only the PAP’s team can offer.

At Paulo Afonso Pereira Intellectual Property the management of a patent registration starts a long time before the handing over of the initial documentation to the competent agencies. The procedures are initiated with the anteriority research in Brazil and abroad by specialized professionals on the subject. Such research will determine the registration viability and in a positive case, the kind of patent to be requested.

The next step is to set the intellectual property strategic protection which includes the leading of registrations in all necessary countries. The work includes the elaboration of descriptive reports, the concession process following up and an orientation about exploration and licensing.

Any person, physical or a juridical entity, can make a patent request or industrial draw as soon as they have legitimacy to have it.
