質問

We are a Japanese company planning to expand our export business to a partner in Brazil. Is there a way to gain patent protection for software which we deliver to operate our technology?

Dear Sirs,

My name is Mauricio Tavares, and I am a partner of Lext, and intellectual property firm in Brazil.

We have a special law for the protection of softwares. it is considered a type of author rights, but, with special rules.

So, it is not a patent protection, but a software protection. It can be considered a patent protection in case that it is incorporated to a machine, for example, but, if is a common software, it can be protected following this special law.

If you need any other information, please feel free to contact me at mauricio.tavares@lext.com.br

All the best.

Mauricio de Souza Tavares
