Intellectual Property Law

In today’s dematerialized economy, the protection of intangible assets is indispensable for ensuring the competitiveness of companies in many different areas. Regardless of the specific business activity, branding, design and technological innovation are part of the strategies in companies that seek steady and continuous growth.

Lima e Falcão is aware of this scenario, and it offers legal advice and consultancy in the registration of intellectual assets and property, in the enforcement of the rights arising from this new reality, and in the elaboration of specific contractual instruments for commercial relations that involve intellectual property.

In the administrative scope, Lima e Falcão works in direct contact with the National Institute of Intellectual Property (INPI), represented by the team headquartered in the city of Rio de Janeiro and dedicated to pursuing procedural promptness in the registration of brands, patents, industrial design, computer programs, integrated circuit topographies, and geographical indications. The firm has also expertise in the registration and the protection of domain names before the Managing Committee of Internet in Brasil (CGI.br), acting with efficiency and quickness against practices of cybersquatting and typosquatting.

In the judicial scope, Lima e Falcão also acts at the national level, enabling the effectiveness of rights against practices of improper use, unloyal competition, counterfeiting, and other examples of harmful behavior against the economic utilization of the intellectual property by its owners.

In addition, Lima e Falcão Advogados promotes the protection of artwork by Copyright Law, and its services involve the preparation of license agreements, royalties agreements, authorization of use, etc. Acting in a partnership with the Entertainment Law team, the firm also structures businesses intending to facilitate that artworks reach the market in the form of cultural products, ensuring the financial return to its creators.
