When we talk about Counterfeiting and piracy with
regards to intellectual property, several questions spring to mind.
Is what is practiced today actually piracy? What can illicit acts
against patents be called? We can be sure of one thing: the victim
is not only the competitor that owns the rights but also the
consumer. In this edition you shall find out more about this issue
by reading the article "Counterfeiting and piracy", by
Newton Silveira.
Another article of current interest that
illustrates this newsletter is the illegalities that the user gets
exposed to on accessing the Internet. Should we trust certain
companies and certain services? This is always a question with an
element of uncertainty. With regard to this issue, Wilson Silveira
has prepared the article "Danger roams the internet".
You will also read about the ways to obtain a
patent in Singapore; the new patent legislation in the Democratic
Republic of San Tom้ and Principe; the participation of
CRUZEIRO/NEWMARC lawyers at the INTA Annual Meeting INTA
International Trademark Association, which took place in San Diego,
and about PAWS - Patent Watching Service, at the disposal of the
