Fighting Counterfeiting: Protecting Trademarks and Intellectual Property Rights

At Bhering Advogados, our efforts in fighting counterfeiting are central to ensuring the protection of our clients’ rights. Our Anti-Counterfeiting Department, in partnership with the State Department of Criminal Investigations (DEIC) and the 1st General Investigations Division (DIG), played a key role in a significant enforcement operation against counterfeit goods. The operation took place on March 18, 2026, in the central region of São Paulo, specifically in the Brás district, resulting in the seizure of approximately 50,000 counterfeit items bearing our clients’ trademarks.

The operation targeted a strategically located site, used as a warehouse for illicit products. Civil police officers, with a team of 16 agents and 5 vehicles, successfully dismantled a counterfeiting network that was affecting consumers and the legitimate market, safeguarding intellectual property rights and protecting our clients’ trademarks.

We remain committed to protecting intellectual property rights and combatting counterfeiting. Our team works tirelessly alongside law enforcement authorities to ensure that wrongdoers are held accountable and that consumers have access to genuine products, free from counterfeit goods.
