WTR – Brazil: Economic success matched by a surge in counterfeiting
Please read the article titled ‘Brazil: Economic success matched by a surge in counterfeiting,’ published on WTR and authored by Rafael Lacaz and Raquel Bastos, Partner and Head of our Anti-Counterfeiting team, respectively.

Consequently, it is crucial to enforce intellectual property rights, a task that demands careful planning, advanced technology, intelligence, training, and coordination. This effort is supported by various laws, treaties, and constitutional, civil, criminal, and procedural codes.

That’s why, at Kasznar Leonardos, our goal is to ensure that your company can actively participate in this dialogue by forming alliances or associations dedicated to combating counterfeiting. You can count on us!
