Marina Castro
Mechanical Engineer with undergraduate course from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) in the Academic Format “Co-Joint Graduation” with the Technical University of Denmark (Kongens Lynby). She developed at the Danish university research on the Control and Smart Materials focusing on the analysis of vibration control using Smart Materials. She is developing at the moment her Master studies before UFRJ.
She holds a broad experience in automation, performing activities related to reviewing mechanical failures and elaborating pertinent technical documentation related to analysis performed incorporating sensing, detection and implementation of control tools.
At VAZ E DIAS ADVOGADOS & ASSOCIADOS, Ms. Castro executes activities related to the protection of inventions through patents, topographies and software. She has been involved since 2015 in the prosecution of applications at the Brazilian Patent Office (INPI), especially those related to mechanical vibrations, control and automation systems, as well as industrial products and processes, and mechanical and automation engineering, in general.
Moreover, she works directly with the stages of the national and international patent applications prosecution, in accordance with the Patent Convention Treaty (PCT).
It should be highlighted, the thorough work led by Ms. Castro in the Freedom to Operate (FTO) and RoadMapping tasks, by means of identifying technological routes through patents. Her ability to lead these complex issues comes from the technical knowledge in the examination of mechanical systems and professional practice gained across many projects involving rotating machines in general.
Ms. Castro guides national and international clients, clarifying their queries, leading the examination of patentability requirements, elaborating technical reports and petitions, such as responses to office actions, appeals, subsidies to support the technical examination and nullities with the INPI.
