{"id":93,"count":101,"description":"A patent guarantees exclusivity to the owner of the protected invention.\u00a0 Industrial Property Law No. 9,279\/96 ensures the right to prevent third parties from using patented inventions without the proper permission of the owner.\r\n\r\nA patent is the instrument for the protection of innovations. The patented content must have the following characteristics: novelty, inventiveness and industrial application which may be the combination of elements which, in themselves, are already known individual elements. Patents cover: machines, tools, chemical products, components and parts of machines and products in general, industrial processes and animal and plant production methods.\r\n\r\nThe patent system allows:\r\n\r\n    the granting of patents and utility models, \r\n    the search tools for determining the state of the art and verifying the possibility of infringement in the manufacture of new products; \r\n    the search of patented and public domain technology as a way of skipping steps in the development of new products and technologies; \r\n    the different modes of technology transfer (such as licensing, as a way of increasing profits from the exploitation of a patent).\u00a0\r\n\r\n<strong>\u201cBrazil is a founding member of the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property of 1889 (revised in Stockholm in 1967) and has signed the most important international treaties and agreements involving IP rights: The Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT); the Geneva and Berne Convention Copyright Treaties; the GATT\/TRIPS agreements and others.
