Authorities from Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay have recently met in Brasilia to discuss crimes against Intellectual Property in the digital environment.
The meeting was held to discuss public policies for the implementation of a new artificial intelligence system to combat pirate websites, which are a major problem in society.
The fight against digital piracy is something that has been practiced in Brazil for years, as it infringes on various intellectual property rights previously guaranteed by law, such as copyrights, trademarks, and industrial designs.
Brazilian legislation seeks to be strict regarding the unauthorized reproduction of intangible articles on the internet, as can be seen in the copyright law (Law No. 9,610/1998) and the Industrial Property Law (Law No. 9,279/1996). Such crimes are also covered by the Brazilian Penal Code, which prohibits any type of violation of rights, copyright, piracy, acts of unfair competition, and facilitation of any intellectual property crime.
In this way, the meeting held with representatives from the countries involved in implementing this new technology represents a major step towards investing in IP assets not only in Brazil, but throughout Latin America, since combating Intellectual Property crimes of any kind must be practiced on a daily basis, protecting the holders of rights that are already guaranteed.
