Intellectual property Contracts and Transactions

Protecting patents, industrial designs, trademarks, copyrights, and software is essential. However, the competitiveness of companies increasingly relies on the strategic management and contractual exploitation of these assets, whether through monetization or the secure use of third-party assets.

Bhering Advogados assists companies in all transactional activities involving intellectual assets, from organizing internal documentation to ensure ownership, rights chain, and governance, to negotiating, formalizing, and continuously managing contracts with third parties.

We provide comprehensive advisory in the negotiation, formalization, management, and, when applicable, registration and annotation of contracts before the INPI, such as:

• Brand usage licenses and patent and cultivar exploitation;

• Know-how transfer, technical assistance, and specialized services;

• Franchises;

• Software licenses and assignments;

• Copyright contracts, including licensing, assignment, and contracts for audiovisual, editorial, musical, and digital projects;

• Contracts involving the use of IP assets in advertising campaigns, digital platforms, and creative projects.

In addition to assisting in the monetization of intellectual assets through licensing and franchises, we support clients in the secure use of third-party assets (inbound licensing), ensuring contractual clarity, proper rights allocation, risk mitigation, and regulatory compliance.

Our work combines strategic vision, technical knowledge, and experience to enable companies to efficiently and securely explore and use intellectual assets, aligned with their business objectives.
