Filipe Mayer, CCA ONTIER's Partner and Coordinator of the TMT&PI Department, in statements to Jornal Económico commented on the greater awareness by companies of the relevance of Intellectual Property in its strategy of development and competitiveness, as well as its protection through IP rights.
'The only way to protect a trademark or patent is through its registration, the contours of which can vary both in terms of territory and in material terms', says Filipe Mayer.
