Intellectual Property Litigation
Protecting patents, industrial designs, trademarks, copyright, and software is essential. However, corporate competitiveness increasingly depends on the strategic management and contractual exploitation of these assets – whether through monetization or through the secure use of third-party intellectual property.
Bhering Advogados advises companies on all transactional matters involving intellectual assets, from organizing internal documentation to ensure ownership, chain of title, and governance, to the negotiation, formalization, and ongoing management of agreements with third parties.
We provide comprehensive assistance in the negotiation, drafting, management, and, where applicable, recordation of agreements before the Brazilian Patent and Trademark Office (INPI), including:
- trademark license agreements and patent and plant variety exploitation agreements;
- know-how transfer, technical assistance, and specialized services agreements;
- franchise agreements;
- software licensing and assignment agreements;
- copyright agreements, including licensing, assignment, and agreements relating to audiovisual, publishing, music, and digital projects;
- agreements involving the use of intellectual property assets in advertising campaigns, digital platforms, and creative projects.
In addition to advising on the monetization of intellectual assets through licensing and franchising structures, we support clients in the secure use of third-party assets (inbound licensing), ensuring contractual clarity, appropriate allocation of rights, mitigation of infringement risks, and regulatory compliance.
Our work combines strategic vision, technical expertise, and practical experience to enable companies to exploit and use intellectual assets efficiently, securely, and in alignment with their business objectives.
