The Right of retraction from the point of view of the Provider

The right of retraction is an important part of the Consumer’s rights, and ensuring that you have a chance to withdraw from a purchase made outside of the business premises, such as shopping online or over the phone. However, many of you have questions about this law and how it can affect your business.

Initially, it is important to highlight the fact that it is the ‘buyer’s remorse’ is a guarantee provided for in the Consumer protection Code (CDC). This is the law that is applicable on purchases made from outside of the business, such as sales via the internet, by telephone, or book, for example.

According to the article 49 of the CDC, the customer has 7 days from the date of receipt of the product, or on the signing of the contract, to give up the purchase is carried out on the premises, free of charge. In this case, the supplier is required to repay the amounts eventually paid by the consumer, including the costs low, within a period of 30 days.

With this in mind, in some cases, this may be against the excessive to the vendor, especially when it comes to the products that are made to measure, decay, among many others.

This is because, in the case of custom-made products, as they are designed for a specific consumer, the provider, you may not be able to resell it to another customer in the event of regret. In such a case, a refund for the product, you can generate an excessive financial losses for the provider.

For these and many other cases, the right of retraction, should be considered, so that, when used, shall be returned to the status quo ante, as in the cases in which the consumer exercises his right of retraction for the purchase of products that are customized, for example, it is possible for the provider to be reimbursed for the expenses they had in the process of manufacturing and marketing/return the product, and provided that you prove your losses, and damages (costs of materials and labor, for example).

The courts have ruled that this indemnity shall correspond to the amount of proven, that of the amounts spent by the Provider in the manufacture of the products, provided that “the right to a regret is not reflected in the prerogative to ensure that the distrato imotivado of the contract.”[1]

In light of this, it is important that providers are aware of the right of retraction should be informed so that they can act appropriately in the event of a request for cancellation by the customer. If you have any questions concerning the matter, it is important for the provider to seek legal advice from specialists to avoid any financial losses and exposures can be avoided.

The contract transfer of property and the Responsibility of the Parties

The Contract of Lease is commonly used by the entrepreneurs at the time of the transfer of the building trade, which, consequently, is characterized by the sale of the complex-the goods, whether tangible or intangible, and a specially organized to develop the business, whether an entrepreneur or business company.

In this kind of business, then the parties must, especially if you pay attention to the formalization of the details out, by means of a contract of their own, in order to establish the duties and rights of each one. Here, it is important to note that in all cases in which the contract is entered into, is not present or does not have the forecast of or in connection with the act, the onus will be on the application of the rule of the items 1.142 at 1.149 of the Brazilian Civil Code.

On the other hand, in addition to the legal relationship between the contracting parties themselves, that they also may be subject to liability to any third party, for which they will have to take measures ranging from the to the notice of the creditors, especially from produce, to the registration of the Contract of Lease with the board of trade, and the publication in a newspaper of wide circulation.

It is important to bear in mind that compliance with such requirements, and the caution of a report to the creditors, the aim is to establish the framework of a temporal, that will give the beginning of the period to the extinction of the liability of the selling as much as on some of its obligations. In this way, both parties resguardarão between you and the third party, and thus much of the discussion relating to the transfer of the business.

In this line you need to think over some of the key topics surrounding the lease:

  1. The liability of the Parties

In the Contract of Lease, it is of the utmost importance that the parties to make provision for the extension of the liability upon the sale of your business and providing for the treatment to be given to the debt to be recognised and any liabilities that have not yet recognised for the produce.

As provided for by law, if the conveyor is not left with sufficient assets to pay their debts, the effectiveness of the Contract, the Lease will depend upon the payment in full with your creditors, or the taking of consent (such as for the sale of the business. This means that at the start of the negotiations on the transfer of the property, the selling will need to decide which strategy will: (i) maintenance of the goods sufficient to discharge in respect of the creditors; and (ii) a discharge in full of the debt; (iii) notice to the lenders stating that the lease, in order to obtain the consent of the latter.

The other caution is relevant to the recognition of liabilities in connection with its own business premises, to ensure that the buyer takes in full of the obligation to pay such charges for the transfer.

It is valid to note also, that the alienation shall remain jointly and severally liable for a period of 01 (one) year, and it will start to count from the date of publication of the Contract, the Lease, as stated above, in the case of overdue loans on the maturity date, in the case of other loans. Therefore, it is up to the parties to determine the form of the reimbursement of the amounts required for the alienation in situations in which such expenditure would be borne by the purchaser of the property.

This is because, generally speaking, the players tend to opt for a fourth strategy, in order to provide contractually represented a landmark period for which the assumption of the obligations of that establishment, the object of the lease. Thus, the parties are able to allocate for the price and on the conditions and in the best format for the assumption of such liabilities, on the basis that such a prediction will ensure that those parts of the law of return and obtain a refund, subject to the remaining fixed contract.

  1. The seal of the competition, the selling to the buyer

With regard to the non-compete agreement between the selling and the purchaser, the parties will also have to pay attention to the forecast of the contract, in view of the omission of this point, the system generates the application of the law in order to be prohibited from competition for a period of 05 (five) years after the transfer.

In addition, if it is the intent of the parties, a contract may be able to establish the rules of the seal of the competition exclusively in the certain field of activity, as well as the location and period of time.

  1. The absence of subrogation in favour of the Contract

After the signing of the Contract, the Lease, the buyer should pay particular attention to the non-existence of the subrogation in favour of the (transfer control of the contract position them, especially the contract for the lease of the property of the business. In the negotiation for the purpose of supplementing the existing contracts should be pre-evaluated, taking into account the assumption of such termination, and, in consequence, inviabilização from the property.

Even within the framework of the III meeting of the Civil Law, he was posted to the Statement, 234, it was fixed with the understanding that: “When the good of the establishment of the business, with the agreement of the location where it will not pass automatically to the customer.”[1]

The lack of subrogation in favour of the agreement, the lease may make it impossible for the business as a whole, given that a large part of the time, the assumption of a business that involves a commercial hub, due to its location and clientele.

Depending on the factual circumstances, it may be advisable, rather than by his own purchase and sale of the shares of the company, taking into account that, in such cases, as a rule, there is no need for any amendment to the lease agreement was originally entered into. Regardless, it needs to be verified in the absence of a clause in a termination due to a change of social control, resulting in the careful analysis of the contract in order to seek the best solution for you.

  1. The assignment of the Claims that are Inherent in the Establishment of

In addition to the assumption of contracts and debts of the parties shall pay attention to the assignment of the credit facility, in order for the debtor to proceed to be paid by the purchaser. The debtor is not informed, and to make the payment to the selling, we will not be liable, and there is a regular discharge, resulting in the parties due to the transmission of values.

Despite being widely used by the business, and the act of “passing the point involves a number of circumstances and legal consequences of which have to be met at the time of the transaction between the two parties.

For this reason, the drawing up of the Contract, the Lease, any of the assumptions set out in advance, must be taken into account, in particular to ensure that there is no omission in the contract, or for which it is possible to predict from or in connection with the law, or even to preserve the performance of the contract in the case of the relationship with the creditors ‘ and the debtor or a third party in the contractual relationship.

The Usefulness of the Justice Postulandi in the Process of the Work of Today’s

In the process, the work has its own characteristics, which are aimed at ensuring the protection of the rights of the workers, and the effectiveness of the provision of judicial review. In this context, the justice postulandi it is a right granted to the parties in both the employers and the employees, to comply with, and to serve you personally in the court’s Work, so there’s no requirement to hire a lawyer.

One of the main advantages of the justice postulandi is the possibility of access to Justice, in a simplified and cost-effective. Many times, employees do not have the financial resources to pay reasonable attorney’s fees, and living up postulandi to allow them to exercise their right of defence, and without such a requirement. In addition to the direct action of the parties contributes to the rapidity of procedure and evidence of the democratization of the access to Justice.

For these reasons, it is not possible to, for example, that one of the parties that contend for the judgment of another in the payment of the compensation of the costs incidental to the employment of attorneys, in view of the possibility of operation in the justice postulandi.

In spite of the advantages, which the justice postulandi it also presents challenges, and limitations. The lack of knowledge on the technical and legal parts may impair the effectiveness of their rights, which the law of labour is complex and requires an understanding that is appropriate for your implementation.

So, clearly, the lack of association may make it difficult for the presentation of legal arguments with a solid and complete understanding of the procedures of the proceedings, and that, since the reform of labor law in Brazil, and in the fall of 2017, the performance of the parties, without a lawyer, he became more constrained, particularly in the higher courts, such as the Superior Labor Court (TST).

Currently in the process of work, the use of the justice postulandi is subject to certain restrictions apply. The parties may proceed without a lawyer, only in the first few instances, such as in the small claims Courts of the Work, the Rods of the Work, and the district Courts of the Work. At higher levels, such as with the TST, acting without an attorney, is not permitted.

This restriction is intended to guarantee legal certainty, because the courts take a more in-depth knowledge of the law, and decision-making. In addition to this, hiring an attorney who specializes in employment law may be needed for a better protection of the rights of the parties, and an understanding of the legal issues that are involved.

It should be noted that the justice postulandi it is based on the principles of the process in the labor market, such as the simplicity of the language, the informal economy, and the protection of the rights of the workers.

In this way, the principles are intended to ensure equality of procedure and evidence, the defense of, and access to the Justice system.

Therefore, the rights of the parties, acting in person is in harmony with these principles, provided that it complied with the procedural due process to a minimum.

For the more complex, that is to say, to live up postulandi is to be exercised in an effective way, it is recommended that the parties to seek out the information and legal guidance before you act on labor cases, it is important to know your rights and responsibilities, as well as in the proceedings, in order to avoid any misunderstandings and prejudices.

In addition to this, it is critical that the Power of the Judiciary to ensure the proper guidance of the parties is not represented by legal counsel, answer questions, and by promoting gender equality, even as the access to the system and in the court of law.

Shared custody to the x-Guard Ac

The setting of the care and custody of the children is a major concern for the couples who decide to get a divorce. However, despite the fact that the theme of conversation, of the parents, they should always seek to be in the best interests of the child, in order to ensure that it is the most favorable and convenient for you to your emotional and physical development.

At this point, the study of the methods of the guard, many of the parents are entangled in the relationship of the two species is featured in: the shared custody, and to the left alternately.

Therefore, in this paper we explore the characteristics of, and pointed out the distinctions of the institutes mentioned above.

In the first, and explain to the guard, the toggle is in the distribution in the time in which the child is with each parent. Thus, during these periods, he was transferred to the responsibility, the integral with respect to the child.

For example, the child remains is a week of living with her father, and a week of living with her mother instead. Therefore, each and every one of the parents must take up the post of guardian of the integral of the offspring in their proper slots.

Some legal scholars are critical of this model is that it understands that the development of the child is also affected by the collapse of their routine research. In this sense, Shelley, Mary CARBONERA, it is understood that the “exchange of houses, it would be detrimental to the balance of the child, preventing it from will have the necessary stability to its full development”[1].

On the other hand, other parties involved will understand that, even if the routine is the model of education will be different in each household, the child is able to adapt to the differences in.

On the other hand, the shared custody and is characterized by the sharing of responsibilities, and that it doesn’t take time in the living equally.

In this regard, the Minister in the high Court of Justice Nancy Andrighi, it is understood as follows[2]:

“In fact, in the joint custody requires the sharing of responsibilities, don’t confuse it with the custody and joint physical offspring, or divided into, equal to the time-of-living of the children with their parents.”

The purpose of this model is the fact that the parents are engaged in a custody the same time. As a consequence, both the parents have to make decisions about education, health, and leisure, among other decisions.

In this sense, the scheme is shared, it is possible that it is set in a home for the child in accordance with his best interests.

Also, if it is in the interests of all parties involved, it is possible to be established in the joint custody of with the switch of the housing, in which the responsibilities and decision-making on the lives of the child to continue to be from both parents, even in the periods in which the child is with the other parent.

Finally, it is important to reiterate that, at the time of the award of the custody of the child, in the light of the principle of the protection of children’s education[3], in the best interest of the child should be attended to first. For this reason, it is imperative for the assessment of the evidence in each case, all of which are natural persons, as well as the relationships.

The company’s business, family and estate planning and succession: are The benefits of this type of planning for business continuity

Business Partnerships In Brazil:

In Brazil, the companies comprising the members of the same family, and they are the majority in the market, accounting for 90% of the companies in business in the country, according to reports, a writer, and an expert in business administration from the fundação Armando Lorenzo de Almeida Junior, in his book, behind the Scenes of the Family-owned Company.

This type of company the business is able to observe the prevalence of some of the features that were derived from the relationship between the members of the family, such as the economic power is concentrated in one family; and the power to make decisions about whether the company has been in the hands of those who are part of the first generation of the family, the ‘double’ originally, all the investments that have been made in the company will be reverted to the support of his own family; and the administration of the company, is mainly formed by the members of the same household; and to all the members who are motivated to make decisions that maximize their profits, because their household income is directly tied to the performance of the company.

In this way, it is possible to understand that one of the major challenges within the framework of a company in the family is the very existence of the business. For this reason, to develop a well-structured succession of the company, it is extremely important to us that this is a challenge to be overcome.

In this regard, it is necessary to look for ways to organise and protect the assets that are part of the heritage family, and the world of business, in order that the personal property is not to be confused with the goods, business, and vice-versa, and this is a subject that should be the thought of every home, which has set up his own business, and you want to perpetuá it. However, this protection can be seen as a ‘shield sheet.

Therefore, it is important to point out that the asset and succession planning should not be seen as a way to shield assets. This idea is often promoted by some of the professionals, as it is mistaken, and that, in practice, is completely untenable. The planning seeks to organize the property and the design of the succession, legal, and efficient manner, but it does not provide an absolute guarantee against the risk or loss.

In addition, as I have said, and the estate planning and inheritance should be used only for the organization, and the protection of family property, but it should also be considered in cases in which the purpose of the family is the maintenance of the family business.

This process begins with the identification of the founder of the company, which is responsible for the emergence of the assets that make up the patrimony of the family, and their dreams. Through proper planning, it is possible to guarantee with a transition to an efficient and smooth, while protecting the interests of the founder of the family, as well as preserving the legacy built up over time.

A set of planning:

There are specific situations in which they can generate great concern and uncertainty in the business, such as retirement, the death or departure of a founder. In these circumstances, it can have an impact directly on business continuity and stability to organizations.

In these scenarios, and challenging, planning sheet, and the book is as an essential tool that is used to ensure that a transition to an efficient and harmonious, taking in an early stage, and the heirs, so that when the real estate, while some conflicts are to be avoided.

It is important to note that the effectiveness of this design depends on the implementation, ‘ in life, allowing the founders to establish clear guidelines regarding the continuation of the business, and the heirs, therefore, are aware of these guidelines.

The planning is well structured, it should provide for the possibility of an heir to be the only heir, as well as to enable those who wish to legitimately do this. That’s why being the heir of a family company, it does not mean that they need to manage that thing. However, if you choose to do so to an heir, he should bear in mind that his or her rights to be the only member and a non-administrator.

The planning is well-structured, well, it must provide a way for the management and organisation of this administration, the family-run business. In some cases, this is through the creation of a board of directors, which is not to be confused with the role of administrator. The board of directors is a body of advice, while the government is responsible for the conduct of the business on a day-to-day.

In addition to this, the asset and succession planning should include legal, tax and financial resources, and ensuring that the transition is smooth, and minimize conflicts among the heirs.

When you create a comprehensive plan members can be assigned to the succession of their business in order to preserve the family legacy, and promoting the sustainability of the business over the long term.

The benefits of the plan:

At the time of writing of estate planning, it is necessary to examine carefully all the materials and sources of laws that sanction such a procedure. These include not only the laws that govern the family, such as the CC, and the rules on marriage, and marriage, but also to the provisions relating to succession in which they determine how the assets are to be divided among the heirs.

In addition to this, it is essential to consider the tax laws, which relate to the goods, and gifts. The in-depth understanding of these rules is crucial, in order to ensure that the design is not only cool but it is also great from the point of view of taxation.

The use of these sources and the legal basis, your estate planning should always give priority to the interests of each and every business that is involved. In this way, in the planning, wealth is not simply a question of legal protection, but rather a proactive approach that seeks to ensure the continuity of the family business.

In addition to the benefits already mentioned, the estate planning provides other important benefits, such as the centering of the management of the financial assets. This approach helps avoid the configuration of the condo on the goods, for the sake of simplicity, and so the succession process, and to facilitate the administration of the estate.

In short, the asset and succession planning is an essential tool that enables you to family, to draw up, in a clear way in advance, on the structure of their society, and to the management of their property upon the death of the founder, or principal owner.

Having a detailed plan, your family can clearly define who will be the shareholders and their shares, who shall be the directors and their powers, to ensure that all members have an understanding of your rights and responsibilities. This arrangement not only makes it easier for the administration of an estate, but also ensure that the vision and goals of the founder, to be held in the next generation.

In conclusion, a wealth planning and estate may be in addition to the organization, and the protection of family property, the maintenance of the family business, at the end of the perpetuá them to people in need, without which the essence, it is gradually lost over time. And, therefore, it is possible, as has been shown, to achieve this goal is through estate planning and succession.

In a nutshell, it is an agreement between a Tax authority and taxpayers, with special conditions that allows for the adjustment of debts to the tax. 

The primary purpose of the transaction is to put an end to the discussions related to the tax credit, making it an alternative dispute resolution in the sphere of taxation. 

To this end, the internal revenue service requires taxpayers in exchange for the special conditions relating to the payment of the confession, irrevocable, debt, and the fact that the administrative and judicial proceedings, in which we discuss the recovery of the deferred tax assets included in the transaction.

Although the prediction of the transaction, the tax has existed for more than 50 years, and its implementing regulation at the Federal level did not take place until 2020, with the conversion of a provisional measure 899/19 in-law 13.988/20. This law sets forth the requirements and conditions for the conclusion of agreements between the taxpayer and the Public treasury, thus creating three types of transactions:

  1. The transaction, for the recovery of sums entered in the outstanding debt of the Union, its local authorities, and public foundations, or for claims under the jurisdiction of the office of the Attorney General of the Union;
  2. The transaction in the remaining cases, tax litigation or administrative proceeding;
  3. The transaction in litigation, a tributary of little value.

As to the form of the proposition, the law of the 13.988/20 provides that a transaction may be made by the membership of the notice, published by the treasury or by the nomination of the individual, which may be presented either by the taxpayer, as well as the Farm. In the case of the recovery of the outstanding debt, it is possible to decide on the membership or the proposal of an individual, as in the other types is only permitted in the membership of the announcement.

The granting of a benefit by the Public treasury shall be preceded by an analysis of the degree of impairment of the loan, which is that the conditions may vary according to the needs of the taxpayer, and the characteristics of the flow. Proposals of a negotiation, you can include the following:

  • Discounts
  • Easy entry;

In the case of micro-enterprises and small-scale business, the discount can be as much as 70%, with a maturity of up to 145 months).

On the basis of these insights on the operation of the transaction for the tax, it is appropriate to hear the call rate at the Federal level, focusing on the benefits that are offered by each and every one of them.

II. Transaction tax-for the adhesion force at the Federal level – Editing PGDAU 2/24

The Importance of compliance with labour

The concept of compliance with labour involves the adoption of policies and practices that will ensure that your business is compliant with labor laws. Its importance is highlighted by the to avoid significant losses, arising out of, fines, investigations, and the actions taken by employees, especially those arising from oversight of the Y. 

The Ministry of Labor is responsible for overseeing the compliance of the labor law in Brazil, and it has the power of research is vast, and it can act as a preventive or repressive. Companies that do not have a program for compliance with labor, well-structured they are at the highest risk of being a target of the investigation, which could result in severe sanctions, in addition to have a negative impact on the reputation of the company.

The benefits of compliance with labour

Companies that implement compliance programs reap a number of benefits, including the following: 

  • A reduction in the liabilities of labor: in compliance with the labor law prevents the procedures and fees.
  • The improvement of the reputation of Organizations that are committed to ethical practices to attract talent and improve their image in the market.
  • Work environment is safe, secure and fair environment where their rights are respected, and promotes increased engagement and productivity.
  • The decrease of the turn-over of employees: Employees who feel respected, safe and tend to stay in business, which reduces the costs of new hires, and training.

 Working in the compliance department of labor in your business

 The implementation of a programme of compliance, labor law, requires a structured process that involves several stages, and the involvement of all levels of the organization.

The following are the key steps for implementation: 

1. Risk mapping: The first step is to identify and map the major risks of employment with the company is facing, such as hiring practices, abnormal working conditions, inadequate and harassment in the workplace.

2. The establishment of Policies and Procedures that: – The company should develop a clear policy on compliance with labor laws that protect the rights of workers, and establish rules of conduct in the workplace. Among the key measures are:

  • Employment contracts: written contracts with appropriate and according to the CLT, which regulates such issues as the journey of rights and duties.
  • Compensation and Hours: the Definition of the agreements, which allow for greater flexibility in the working day, in accordance with the legislation in force.

The effective implementation of the compliance division of labour is therefore dependent on the adoption of practices that go beyond simple compliance with the law. It requires an ongoing commitment to ethics and compliance in all areas of the organization, while ensuring a work environment that is healthy and productive.

The role of the Y

The MPT plays a key role in the monitoring of working conditions, investigate complaints, irregularities, such as harassment, discrimination, labor, slave labor, among other violations.

Companies that have a robust system of compliance with labour are more likely to be able to respond to the investigation of the TWA, to demonstrate that they adopt the preventive measures and corrective actions are effective to prevent the violation of the labor laws. This will reduce the chances of severe sanctions and to protect the organization from harm, reputational, and financial resources.

The arbitration, and business competitiveness: A new approach to conflict resolution

The accelerated increase in Corporate Law, and the more intense competition among enterprises, which seek to constantly stand out and help it to evolve in the market, has led to the adoption of arbitration as a solution to a strategic level. In a scenario where you have both the agility and expertise that are essential to maintaining a competitive advantage in the arbitration, and stands as a powerful mechanism capable of resolving disputes with efficiency and discretion. This phenomenon is reflected not only in the search for solutions that are faster, but you also need to have a system for the resolution of disputes which is in line with the dynamics and complexity of the business environment today.

Thus, an institute of the law, which arose in the late 90’s it has achieved the greatest prominence in corporate law from brazil!

Base

It is both a form of private dispute resolution in which an impartial third party, known as the arbiter, is assigned to make a decision on the dispute. The decision of the arbitrator’s award shall be binding and the binding on the parties to accept and comply with the proposed solution.

The arbitrator is an impartial third party chosen by the parties, and must possess a high level of competence to resolve the conflict. The qualification of the arbitrator shall be in line with the complexity and the specific issues related to the conflict, thus ensuring that he has the knowledge and experience that are required for a proper and fair manner.

Even though the arbitration, it may seem like a decision on a purely coercive, it is important to note that, in this process, the parties will have the opportunity to negotiate with one another. The arbitrator, however, you are solely responsible for making the final decision, the closer to the arbitration of the concept of reconciliation.

In addition to this, the decision of the arbitrator has the effect, that is similar to the procedure out-of-court and can be enforced through the judicial system, provided that it meets the requirements of the law. If the judgment is in fact binding on, the parties must comply with the arbitration, which can be done by an arbitration clause, as provided for in art. 4 of the law 9.307/96, or by means of a charge (in scotland, formed after the onset of the conflict.

Further, we have got the international arbitration and ad hoc arbitration, and they are of two types that are worth your attention. The international arbitration provides a significant advantage, as well as the structure and the rules set out by the specialized institutions, to ensure that a process is more efficient and is less likely to fail. This is especially relevant in a business environment where speed and security, legal entity that are critical to the continuity of the business.

However, the law 11.079/04, which calls for public-private partnerships, it also allows arbitration as a means of problem-solving that demonstrates the growing acceptance of the institute in the various areas of the law, including in the public sector. This increase in the use of arbitration, which can be seen as a reflection of their effectiveness and the trust of the parties to deposit in the engine.

The process

In addition, the law 9.307/96, which governs the arbitration in Brazil, it lays down the rules for the formation of the arbitral tribunal in the arbitration proceedings and the enforcement of judgments. In spite of the flexibility of the procedure, it is essential to ensure that the application of the principles of non-contradiction, the fairness and equality of the parties.

Even though the arbitration, it does not allow for the double degree of jurisdiction, and the decisions that may be reviewed by the floods, which are intended to correct material errors, obscurities, inconsistencies, or omissions from, as well as a remedy for nullity of law.

In the field of corporate law, arbitration on turns out to be extremely important, because it deals with the questions of the nature of property. The preference for arbitration in the place of the judiciary due to her speed, expertise and confidentiality to, the factors are particularly advantageous in a competitive environment.

However, it is important to note that the arbitration shall entail significant costs related to the expertise of a specialist and the fees of the arbitrators and counsel, due to the need of the expertise of the investment involved in the process.

Another point to be considered is the question of the arbitrabilidade of the conflict. It is essential that all the parties are aware that not all disputes can be submitted to arbitration. The law 9.307/96 provides that only questions of law, equity is available, are subject to arbitration, which means that the application of this institute is to some types of disputes.

In addition, the confidential nature of the arbitration is something that can be extremely beneficial to your business because it allows your sensitive information will not be made public, contrary to what occurs in the process of the court. This feature is especially appreciated in the settlement of commercial disputes, where the protection of a trade secret, it may be important to you.

In the end, it is important to point out that, in spite of the costs associated with the arbitration, and many businesses find that investment is justified on the grounds of the benefits that an arbitration can provide, such as a reduction in the resolution of conflicts, and to preserve the business relationship. The expectation of a speedy decision, and the ability to select arbitrators with expertise in the matter in dispute, are all factors that often weigh heavily in the decision to opt for arbitration instead of in court.

Engine ally

Arbitration is emerging as a powerful tool in the resolution of corporate disputes, providing an alternative to an agile and expert in the legal system in the traditional sense. This method does not only allow to move fast, and sensitive, but also to adapt to the complexities of the disputes in the corporate landscape. However, to explore it more deeply, then the arbitration, and its practice can lead to new opportunities in order to maximize your benefits and to meet the emerging challenges. In the quest for continuous improvement in this field, you may open the door to innovative solutions, and effective, ensuring that one approach is more effective for the management of corporate disputes.

The brand name is regarded as a sign affixed to a product, a commodity, or an indication of a service designed to help you distinguish it from others. Thus, the brand name is what identifies and distinguishes a product or service in the market, so the main requirement to be registered with the INPI it’s the distinctive and, therefore, to introduce a new addition compared to the market for the specified class in which it is located.

The holder of the intellectual property will only acquire the right to the exclusive use of the issue of a certificate of registration by the INPI. For this reason, companies that want to ensure the exclusive use of its trademarks, and inventions ‘ they should seek legal advice in an efficient, that you can consider and the need for the record in BRAZIL, in order to maintain their reputation in the market, and your valuable customers.

In addition, the law 9.279/96, also deals with the important aspects of industrial property rights, such as the rules on penalties applicable in cases of infringement of the protection against unfair competition. Among the penalties that are in the seizure of the goods and the payment of compensation to the owner is injured. In addition to this, the law suggests that the measures of protection against the misuse of geographical indications, and trade dress. Companies that want to ensure the integrity of your identity, visual, and territorial must adhere to the regulations and to consider the follow-up expert, to avoid legal disputes and to ensure the defence of the full rights of the intellectual property.

The challenges and tendencies in the industrial property office

Some of the meanings of the courts

The sight of the important role played by the industrial property office of the Courts has already entered into some of the relevant views on the subject.

It is worth mentioning the understanding entered into by the supreme court for the compensation for damage to property, and compensation for damages to the off-balance sheet items, in the event of notice of the breach of the trade mark, there is no clear evidence of loss of material and moral, arising out of your use or misuse (One 1804035/DF, rel. ministra NANCY ANDRIGHI, 3rd class, and was published in 28/6/19).

In the framework of the high court of justice, the Court has to be reinforced in a number of decisions, on the principle of speciality, provided for in section XIX of the art. 124 of the law 9.279/96, which provides for the possibility of co-existence of trademarks that are similar or related, since they are not likely to cause the association of misuse or confusion on the market for consumer-to-consumer’S – AgInt in One 1663455 SP 2017/0048618-9, rapporteur: ministro Luis Felipe Salomão, 4th class, and was published in 25/11/21).

As for the Courts of the State, is a relevant example is the ruling of the ECJ, state of minas gerais, which determined that the protection of the brand is usually the case for trade dress (set of-visual-global is a product that gives you the visual identity, with the distinctive characteristics) of the companies (BK, MG – CA, 10000205796139001 MG), rapporteur: mr Arnaldo antunes Maciel, Town, Civil / 18-Civil Chamber, which was published in 23/2/21). Thus, in a general way, for the protection of trade dress that has been provided by the Courts based on the protection of the brand name, or the seal of the unfair competition law.

Criticism of the legislative process, the law on industrial property

The law 9.279/96, which is an industrial property in Brazil, and is the subject of severe criticism are significant in relation to the process of its development. One of the main criticisms is the fact that the initial draft of the law was drawn up in the English language, which led to concerns about the adequacy of the law to the specific characteristics of the brazilian market, and as far as the transparency of the legislative process. This move was seen by many as an attempt to align it with the brazilian legislation, will quickly take you to the international standards, without a due consideration of the needs of the locals.

In spite of the needs that are evident in the update, there is no project that is relevant to the reform of the law on intellectual property. Several factors, political and economic elements that have influenced this process, resulting in a stagnation that may hinder the effective protection of intellectual property rights, in Brazil. The modernization of the law, it has been seen by some legal experts as essential in order to ensure that the innovations are to be properly protected, both at the national and international levels.

The need for reform, according to Newton’s Games

Professor Newton, Of the Games, a well-known expert in business law and intellectual property, and pointed out the urgent need for reform of the law on the protection of industrial property. In their study, De Luca shows that the current legislation does not answer to the realities and demands of today’s marketplace, especially as a result of the rapid pace of technological change. He suggests that it is a far-reaching reforms is crucial in order to ensure that the brazilian laws and regulations continue to protect their innovations and creations in the business field.

Conclusion

Intellectual property continues to be a key pillar for the protection of the innovation and to the promotion of competitiveness in the global market. The modernization of the legislation, and the adoption of innovative practices are needed to address the challenges posed by globalization and digitization. It is imperative for companies to seek appropriate protection for their assets, intangible assets, and ensuring that the platform can be preserved and cherished.
