Court Action Support

In the enforcement field, we defend the client’s interest by adopting measures to protect the intellectual property rights, such as repression to the unfair competition, patents and trademark nullity actions, preliminary injunctions to cease the unauthorized use of plant varieties and trade secret, semiconductors, the combat of software piracy and copyrights, and lead search and seizure measures, prevention of parallel import and any needed proceeding in the defense of the client’s interest.

In regard to plant varieties, we are organized strategically to make the court decisions effective and prevent at once the violation of the industrial property rights, including the dispatch or our attorneys to the agricultural field to seize the violating plants and destroying them.

In the patent violation, there is a continuous and joint participation between our attorneys and professional people composed of pharmacists, biotechnologists, electrical engineering, mechanicals and professionals of other technical fields. All of it aims to tailor strong arguments and strategies to defend the client’s rights and attack competitors that violate their patents in Brazil or overseas.

For the exercise of our activities in the enforcement, we have partnership with associates in all states of Brazil, particularly in Brasilia where the federal supreme courts are located. The mentioned partnership with selected associates is of utmost importance for the success of the court proceedings, since the violation of intellectual property rights are seen in several states, mainly in the main ports of entry of counterfeit and parallel import products.

We work overseas together with foreign associates to evaluate the possibility to initiate court proceedings or leading court actions to make the intellectual property rights of clients respected in the international market.
