Veirano Advogados‘ IP practice is recognised for its strong capabilities in trade mark prosecution and its expertise in technology-related matters. The team places a strong emphasis on protecting clients' IP rights, drawing on significant experience in tackling infringement through strategies such as combating parallel imports, conducting counterfeit search and seizure operations, and enforcing border measures. The practice handles both non-contentious and contentious work with equal proficiency, and beyond trade marks, also advises on patents, copyright, publicity rights, industrial designs, and domain names. Practice head Valdir Rocha, who is based in Rio de Janeiro, is highly regarded for his expertise in trade mark registration, licensing, and litigation. The São Paulo office is led by Fábio Pereira, who excels in commercial transactions involving intangible assets, including copyrights, trade marks, and patents. IP litigation, particularly involving trade marks and copyright, is handled by Gustavo Fróes.
