Brazilian IP counsel for foreign associates.
Direct local representation before INPI — trademarks, patents, industrial designs and software. Four decades protecting portfolios of Brazilian and foreign holders with technical rigor and unbroken confidentiality.
Confidential by default. All matters handled under NDA and internal information-security controls.
